Hello!

I am a new banana plant owner whose had my plant for just over a month. All in all it seems he is doing really well as he as grown three new leaves and working on the fourth. What I am curious about is the leaves tend to curl downwards and I am wondering if this is natural or I am doing something wrong.

I water him about every 5-7 days (lately it’s been every 7 because it’s been cooler the last two weeks) and mist him every morning as I live in the west coast and in drier air conditions. He is near a south west facing window in my bedroom so he receives bright indirect light all day with a couple hours of direct light. I have organic fertilizer on its way so I have not fertilized him yet.

My thoughts are maybe I am not misting enough or under watering, but am hoping some of the more experienced banana owners can help me out :)
