Hello Everyone, I am new to a banana tree.. I live in North Carolina near the raleigh area. I need to repot my banana tree and i need to do so fast, But i am not sure what to use to repot it. I would love some help if someone wouldnt mind giving me some. I am going to put it indoors in the winter time. Also why do the leaves split? Am i doing something wrong? Any help would be great. Also I am not sure what type of tree I have, I will try to post pictures of it as soon as I can.. Thanks in advance,
Ashley

Hahaha I never really consider a strain identified until gabe puts in his input, but the blood spots on the leaves suggest Cavendish, and the red/pink on the P-stem suggests grand naine. I have one and it looks very similar

If you go there, that is the mother tree of mine.. Maybe that will help you figure out exactly what it is.. And again thanks to all of you for your help.
