Hey,
I obtained a dwarf cavendish banana plant from one of my teachers and it was in good health. I fertilized it with fish fert 5-1-1. I read that it needed more potassium and phosphorus but thought it would be good as the fertilizer was all I had. A couple days later I noticed the tips of two leaves browning and curling in with yellow around the browning. I read up and was told it was potassium deficiency and I applied wood ash that I got from my fireplace and sprinkled a little in the pot. I don’t know if that will help much but do you have any advice? I didn’t think about this until after I researched, but I cut the browning tips off and don’t know if that will prevent it from spreading more. Here is a picture at the bottom(after the cutting)
Also, I need fertilizer for my banana and read a 20-10-20 mix for a growing banana (i read somewhere) are there any home remedies to make good fertilizer for a young lil plant?
