But the stuff on the photo is Mostly mulch. The soil doesn’t really begin until the corm.
Other plants are suffering with this also. They are newly planted and not planted deep at all. It’s odd. I don’t think it’s infection cause a plant I planted less than a month ago has it. Also
I’m really confused.
Thanks for the help

You're fertilizer is nitrogen rich causing the plant to grow too fast. The leaves are thin, wrinkled, and difficulty unrolling. .... Reduce the amount of fertilizer being given. Plants this size are good for a couple of months with just 2 or 3 Tablespoons of fertilizer.


Your plants are still too deep if the corn neck isn't at soil level. .... For banana plant nutrient deficiencies, do a web search for a couple of papers that will describe each type and show pictures.
