I am only trying to establish that there maybe many contributing factors that present root rot and if the given conditions do not supply the plant with its requirements you cannot pinpoint rot as only one deficiency/toxicity or necessity in general.
I used (for both bananas in and outside the pond)
-1/4 perlite
-1/2 peat moss/inorganic mix and
-1/4 jobes natural/organic potting mix. I not so sure I want pure inorganic but we'll see?
Okay yeah, I'll leave the pump on 24/7 and I've raised the water to "splash into" instead of "trickle" onto the surface level of the potted banana.
