Hello all,
I have two Gros Michel banana plants that thrived for months. They are in a room with skylights and get a lot of indirect sunlight. I potted them using Sunshine Mix #4. However, for the past few weeks the leaves have been yellowing and dying. Please see the attached picture. I water only when the surface of the soil is dry. It has been about six months since I last repotted them, and I do not use fertilizer. One other thing to note, it has been a long, cold winter, and they have been at about 68 degrees Fahrenheit in 15-30% humidity.
Have I been over watering them? Do I need to put a humidifier close to them?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
