Default Re: Musa basjoo not well - any ideas why?

It looks like it may be more than one problem.



1) Tell us how often the plant is watered & fertilized and what type (NPK) fertilizer is being used.


2) Is that water in the saucer of the center plant in the window? The pot should never stand in the excess water.
3) The plant in question (foreground pic) appears to have been recently re-potted, is that correct? The potting soil looks different than pots in the rear.
4) What is the spoil PH?





My thoughts from what I see:

1) The brown chlorosis appears to be from over watering.
2) The slight rippling of the leaf edges may be from too much fertilizer or possibly a mineral deficiency.
3) The limp sagging leaves may be from transplant shock(re-potting); high radiant heat though the window; root damage from too much water; fertilizer; or incorrect soil PH.


We need the above info from you to narrow this down.


BTW your BB code (img) for posting picture hosted else where should work OK on this forum. The hosting server was extremely slow to feed the image. None of my photos are loaded to this forums gallery. They are hosted on my private server.
