All you bananas pro's have probably seen this before. Two of my bananas are doing the exact same thing and planted in about the same area. Is this a nutrition thing?

Hi Abnshrek, no, I didn't move it, but I did recently plant it about a month ago. It was a purchase from Stokes Tropicals. Thanks for your help.

Is that the first leaf to open since you planted them?

No, it's not the first leaf. Okay, I'll try the Epsom salt. Thanks!

I had that happen recently with an Ice cream, when I moved 2 feet to give it better light.

Works great on sagos too.

Definitely looks like it could use some fertilizer.

Thanks, all. I had a big 50 lb. bag of dried chicken manure that I hadn't had a chance to use on my veggie garden so I sprinkled it on my plumerias, bananas, michelias, and all my planted stuff. I used some Miracle Gro too. It's looks like I'm out of Episom Salt for the moment.

Do you think the chicken manure is okay for the bananas?
