Thanks fellas! I came across the info below, how true does this hold?


"Problem Solving: Banana plants are tough fast growing plants that survive well indoors or out, most problems are due to under watering. Drooping leaves - is the first sign of underwatering and can be remedied with an immediate and thorough soaking. Brown tips to leaves - are usually the result of either scorching or extreme cold. Remove any marked leaves from the bottom of the plant, to help encourage new growth from the top and try to protect your plant from extremes of temperature. Split leaves - are the result of constant movement, either being brushed by passers by or buffeted by strong wind. Split leaves will not damage the plant but can look untidy so try to keep your plant away from main thoroughfares. Yellowing bottom leaves - over time the older leaves will start to wither away and turn yellow from the bottom, this is a natural process and nothing to worry about. Remove these to allow new growth to form from the centre. "
