Default Re: Banana Rookie - I need your help!

So today I have made a decision to cut-off a leaf from my banana plant. it was brown and krinkled to the stalk. I have heard the plant will recycle the nutients from the leaf back into the plant.


Is this a good idea to let it "wither" back to this point before removing?
Is it better to remove all of it sooner to allow for quicker growth?


Oh! The new growth seems to be thinner leaves than the ones before. There are 7 that have grown, -1 old one removed. So four of the six are wide and the two new are thinner.

Is this normal or a sign of malnutrition/ lighting/ or what?



REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR GUY'S ACCURATE ADVICE! Thank you so much!
