Question Drooping leaves after hot spell

Hi

I have recently starting growing banana plants. I bought a musa basjoo and ensete v maurelli, both about 50cm when I got them. I repotted them to bigger pots and am considering doing so again in the near future. As it gets cold here in winter (central England) I'm planning to give them some kind of shelter in Winter i.e. put them in a greenhouse.

They've been growing well and I thought I was getting the balance of watering right, although the musa leaves started drooping a bit after they had unfurled.

We had a very hot spell recently (90F +) for a few days and both plants got drooping leaves after this, despite plently of water. Too much direct sunlight causing this?

They are drooping from the midrib outwards on both sides of the leaf. Again, more so the musa. Both continuing to grow however.

Photos in my gallery - the only two I've got in there so far.

Any advice much appreciated!!!
