Now it's good that you have documented this, so that you can look back at it in the future if your plant continues to show more and more dead spots on the leaves.

But this can't always be attributed to external factors.

Potentially just the genetics of the plant misfiring in those spots.

Could be a nutrient deficiency, but due to how healthy the rest of the plant is doing, I doubt that one.

Might be the whiteflys, but they normally feed on the phloem sap, and as far as I'm aware the phloem bundles run through the psuedostem and mainstem.

I've found that NEEM Oil works as a great deterrent that makes it non harmful to the plant, and Neem it's self is a miracle tree. (different rant)


Just as a postface, I am in no way a banana 'expert' like the others here on this site. I saw that no one has replied to your post yet and didn't want you to get discouraged.

Hope this helps!
