Hi all!! New to bananas and any advice would be great. I received a TC Gros Michel about 2 weeks ago. Container potted to get ready for fall/winter here, Midwest zone 6a. Slowly acclimated before placing in a south facing window. Now I’ve got a pretty big (about nickel sized) patch of discoloring on the stem. It’s not mushy or soft but the area of the stem affected appears to be “wilting”. Soil has been moist but not soaked. I tend to over water so I’m trying very hard to slow down. Soil is miracle grow cactus mix. Any thoughts/advice would be great. Thanks.
Edit: Finally got my photos uploaded into my profile.
