Default Re: I can't figure out what is wrong with my Ensete Maurelii

I think the Ensetes like a moist soil but not one that stays overly wet for too long. They are African plants and I think they need a fairly quick-draining soil. I would definitely suggest going back to at least a moderate fertilizer schedule. Potted plants, as I'm sure you know, get the nutrients leached out very quickly from all the watering. Some of your leaf issues could be the result of inadequate nutrients coupled with poorly draining potting mix.
