Default Re: Banana newbie needs help please!

I use a 50/50 mix of perlite and organic planting compost with zero fertilizer for starting pups or transplanting to bigger containers. I think the reason they lost plants when repotting into MG soil is the added fert that's pre packaged in the soil. The plants need a little time to adjust and grow some roots before adding the fert. Drainage is also key. That's my 2 cents.
