Default Re: Reason for Gros Michel wilting??

"Only receiving sunlight directly a few hours of the day through the window."
Direct sunlight, in a window sill and if it's misted will kill it. Both the window and the water ont eh leaves act as a magnifying glass and will bake the plant to death.

The first pot was WAY too big. While it may have drained well it still probably held too much water for the plant to use and it was probably drowning.
STOP fertilizing it, NOW. you are probably giving it way too much of everything too fast for it to relax and settle into it's new home.
The second pot is better but I would have gone still a little smaller.

If you are going to mist the plant do so when the sun isn't on it. it does look like it isn't too close to the window so that should be good so it is getting some direct sun.
I would have it outside if it's warm enough. Get some shade cloth and make a canopy for it.
Good luck!
