I'm sure its not getting exactly all the light it needs but it seems to be doing ok except that after about 2-3 weeks of a leaf unfolding it bends in the stem of the leaf (no idea if thats the correct terminology). I'm curious to know the cause of this. It just seems that the weight of the leaf is too great for the stem and it bends.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!!!
Hi years ago when I first started growing bananas in side the house I had that problem once in a while,,come to find out over the years I was giving my bananas to much water for their enviorment they dont get great light and it is never really warm inside the house so they do not need as much water because of that..so try less water.hoped this helped Take care-THE PLANT GUY.
