I've gotten millipedes in my banana pots all winter and just noticed them a week ago!!! What a fool I am to just notice now! There are other tiny bugs and spiders living in them as well. Last weekend I've decided to re-pot them in new soil.
The three plants in trouble:
A mystery Banana from a crazy artist friend, it grows into a big tree in the ground, it's about one third it's parent's height.
two "truly tiny musa," one is a plant I've had for 6+ years, and the other is a young clone that accidentally split during re-potting. They've been looking miserable since the re-pot, but they really needed it. When I was washed the millipedes away from the roots, I've noticed one even dug a hole into the root! I had to dig it out with a paper clip! That tiny little jerk! anyway they are looking very depressed and was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to do emergency banana stuff. The mystery banana plant is down to one unrolled leaf, and I'm worried about it's safety. The Truly Tiny trees are ok, but the mother has no open leaf which means it's probably living off of reserves.
any information would be great!
