hello!
hi, I'm a new banana plant owner! I've recently purchased two banana plants (Jamaican red and Grand Nain) from Aloha Tropicals online. When I received them in the mail they were beautiful. I transplanted them into a larger pot (around 10") a day later. I added a mixture of 3/5 cactus palm mix, 1/5 top soil, and 1/5 compose to the larger pot. I further put a half inch layer of compose at the top to mulch them. I sprinkled about a tablespoonful of 10-20-20 fertilizer and a pinch of coffee rounds. I watered them both until I saw water start to trickle out of the holes at the bottom. They are located at the sunniest part of my yard in Kapolei, Hawaii.
Today I noticed a couple of the leaves had turned brown and wilted. What's the deal??? Too much sun? Can anyone help? thanks a bunch! (no pun intended) Dean |

Re: hello!
could be a sun issue..you do not know if where you got them from had them in direct sun or under nursery shade...go slow not full sun for a couple of weeks...little at a time for week or two...or just under shade of other banana plant,or other large leaf plant..sun burn my guess..

Re: hello!
Welcome! I'd guess it was the intense sun. Best to acclimate them to the new conditions, starting them out in shade and gradually moving them out more and more. Good luck!
