Default Re: Banana Rookie - I need your help!

Hello, Welcome, and Happy Growing.
1. Insecticidal soap w/ neem oil takes care of most critters, unless a moth lays eggs on your gran nain..
2, Banana Fuel & wood ash ( scoop to soil helps shore up the p-stem) watered in.
3. I use a humidifier, I think having a bunch of 5 gallon buckets of water takes up to much room.
4. Light or lack there of will make leaves get shorter. I have Goldfinger that the most recent leaf is a foot shorter than previous one. Unless its in a south facing window or you augment in a light source things happen. Come spring get it full sun eventually for growth, personally I'd grow a Goldfinger over a GN they grow faster. Hope this helps. :^)
