Thanks, JP!! Namaste to you too

The soil mix is: garden soil + cow manure + compost. Soil seems moist, but not wet (both soil mix and moisture content seem to work for all other plants, so I guess will work well here too). I have not added sand....might this be an issue? I transplanted exactly a week ago.

How deep did I plant it? I'd say about 9-12 inches deep.

Climate where I live is perfect - Southern India (currently 70-90 degrees Faranheit). Winters don't drop below 60 Faranheit. Bananas are grown widely here all through the year, so climate shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks again, JP!
