Default Re: virgin musa basjoo owner,are the bottom leaves suposed to die off?

I would agree with the above posts, but it's also possible that you have spider mites. Take a look at the undersides of the leaves and look for tiny white specks. The leaves would tend to droop before yellowing. If this is the case, give your plant a shower and/or mist the leaves often w/ soapy water. In either case, clip the dying leaves off and throw them away. It sounds like it is just normal dying old leaves. Be careful not to overwater indoors. Mine get watered about once every 3 weeks. It won't be long before they go outside...
