Hello!
I have 2 bananas, a dwarf nam wah and “fake blue java” (FakeBJ) from wellspring gardens.
Issue 1: The past 3 leaves on my dwarf namwah have had a variegated pattern to it. I know that some nam wahs do come variegated, but I doubt that wellspring accidentally shipped me one. Could it be a nutrient deficiency?
Issue 2: The cigar leaves on the FakeBJ have dark spots that unfurl to dead brown areas (circled on the picture). The news cigar has less damage so I assume it’s getting better, but I’d like my next leaf to be normal. What could be causing the cigar leaf to brown?
Some Care Info:
Both plants are 1 month old and currently in a 2 gal pots. They receive full sun from about 8am – 6pm. I made sure to slow acclimate my plant for several weeks prior.
I water every 2-3 days unless it rained that day or the previous night.
Soil is a mix of mushroom compost, worm castings, topped with black cow and mulch. I added a good inch or so of dried oak leaves to the bottom for drainage.
I am feeding ˝ teaspoon per gal of wellsprings banana fertilizer 15-5-30 once a week. I am splitting the 1 gal feed between both plants since the pots are small. Both plants average a new leaf a week.
There are no roots poking through the holes of the pots.
I am not sure how to upload images to the thread, but everything is labeled in my gallery. :ha:
Thanks!
