Default Re: Blackening leaves in heatwave

[quote=Olafhenny;237244][size="3"]Hi Sharon,
you mention heatwave. Do you live 'Down Under'? Anyway if that plant is in a pot
and the pot exposed to direct sunshine, you may well be cooking the corm. That
has happened to me even here in Canada. When I moved the pot into the shade
the plant recovered.

Good luck,
Olaf

Thanks Olaf, I do live "down-under" and my bananas are permanently planted in the soil. So, while cooking the corm may be possible in these extremes I do have it well mulched to keep the corm a bit cooler.

I really appreciate your advice, thank you
