Default Re: fertilizer for musa Aeae

my Ae Ae started to produce leafs with a grate deal more white on them this last winter. After observing it for several months i noted that in general it started to weaken. So i dosed it with firt. in fairly high concentrations. I spread this out over several months and it reverted to almost all green leafs with less than 5% white. I noted that the leaf structure became much more robust changing from long and narrow to wide. Some times i think they can be a bit tricky but really there just like any other Musa with the exception that they seem to need a bit more N. I'm often amazed at how well its doing considering its out side in a pot its been around 106 all week. At least this is are monsoon season so we have high humidity hell to ride my bike in but lovely for the Ae Ae .
