Default Re: Cold Hardy Banana Plant Questions

Sputinc7- Thank you. I was concerned about that too, so I drilled several holes in the bottom of the pot. Not sure if that was a good idea or not. It seems like the soil gets dry pretty fast now. At least at the top anyway.

Starstryke- I suppose I'm just guessing at whether it is burned or not. Is that what it looks like?


Here are the pictures of what happened: (Has to be fertilizer burn, right?)


This was 9:30AM. I planted and fertilized it.






By 5:40, it looked like this....

(side 2)

I'm assuming I burned it because of how fast it turned brown.

A couple weeks later it has mostly recovered. It has a couple new leaves. I removed the two completely destroyed leaves, and left the other two (obviously they got a bit worse after the previous pics were taken)

I don't know if the partially burned ones are a burden on the plant, or not.

It sounds like maybe I should leave it alone then?

How big should it be before I try fertilizing it again?
