Default Re: What's wrong with my banana?

I assume that recently it ha no leaves, for whatever reason, and now you have 2 new leaves. The new leaves are evidence that you banana is alive. The brown patches are an indication that is has had some severe stress in the recent past, maybe 2 or 3 weeks, maybe longer. Most likely the stress involved a weather issue (too cold,too hot) and/or an insufficient water issue. If it has sufficient water, and some fertilizer going forth, the next leaves will improve in appearance and the plant will get back on track. The fact that they emerged that was means that they were forming and or pushing up through the pseudostem at the time of the stress and were damaged before they emerged. Therefore they are telling you about past events (history) and as more leaves emerge and are fine, they will evidence that the past stress has been corrected.
