Hi Guys
I have come to this site for information over the past year to get information on growing my bananas but one seemed to be dying back so I decided it was time to join the community. I cut the rot away and the inner leaves kept drying out and dying down until (perhaps hastily) I cut the whole top off.
It is a must basjoo and had only grown to around 2 feet before issues really started - although it only seemed to be able to sustain around 3 or 4 leaves at any one time and the stem was only about 10-12mm in diameter.
Attached is a photo of where this one is at now, I have it indoors in a pot (potting soil mixed with perlite and a little left over cactus compost). The roots didn't look great when I moved it to a pot to bring it - no rot just not a picture of health.
If anyone has any advice it would be most appreciated, I fear this one may be lost.
Thanks!
