Default Re: Banana Newbie Needs Help Please

I have more questions. Would it be possible for someone to take a pic of their DRY potting soil and perlite mix, to give me a better idea of what mine should be like, and upload it here. I have no idea if I have too much perlite or not enough. I believe a pic would be very helpful. I also need to know how deep this pup should be in the pot.

I just received another noid banana pup in a trade, and I think it has problems. It has 5 leaves, but 2 are crispy brown, one is totally yellow and one is green/yellow mixed together, but mostly yellow.The 5th leaf appears to be ok for now. It is also the newest leaf. Should I just cut off the bad leaves, or should I leave them? This poor plant looks pathetic. The roots look good and it is all solid. No soft spots on the stem. Could this be shock, from being uprooted and mailed?

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Bonnie
