Hello! I am new to this group. I live in Indiana and I purchased a banana tree to grow indoors a few weeks ago from a local hardware store garden shop. I simply thought it would be fun to try. I do not know the variety. I did however do some research on the subject regarding soil, watering, light, humidity, etc. I have watered about twice a week and have given fertilizer once. I used Miracle Grow soil but added some soil for succulents as recommended on another site. I also added a bit of sand to help with drainage. I'm uploading some photos because it is looking a bit sad. If it doesn't make it then I will look for recommendations here on a variety that grows well indoors, as I have suddenly developed a fascination with this plant!
Here are my questions:
* What might be causing the yellowing or brown areas on the leaves? (I'm trusting it is not disease!)
*What type of banana plant is this? Is it possible to tell from these photos?
*Any tips for nursing it back to health?
I added some photos to my gallery but am trying to figure out how to post them.
Thank you!
