help with my 2 banana plants
Help I recently ordered 2 banana plants we live where they will have to be indoor plants. I believe they were shipped to me with fungus. I had noticed these dark brown spots on the stem and also on each plant there was a leaf with a dark spots and yellow around them I thought it was just a damage spot from shipping but the spot grew and killed the leaf. Then one day one of them was filled with aphids. I have treated them with neem oil and then removed the spotted leaves. And went to green house and they said to try the fungicide dpray with copper but the spots are spreading help!

Re: help with my 2 banana plants
Get them in pots and out in some sun asap... Not all at once as that will burn them, but an hour a day to start, after a few days, 2 hours and so on... It should clear up on it's own. Put them out and bring them in during the warmest time of day. Most of the country is warm enough in the afternoon by now. So long as it's over about 55 degrees, in the sun, they will like it.

Re: help with my 2 banana plants
Were these plants TCs? If so they need more special care and a shaded greenhouse like environment.

Re: help with my 2 banana plants
Hello again they are about a month and half old. One is a vanilla ice cream banana tree and the other is a green Musa dwarf I think. I have them in cactus dirt and I have them in airrating pots with lots of holes all over them which helps with good drainage. I will try to upload some pics

Re: help with my 2 banana plants
Those do appear to be TC plants. These need to be in a greenhouse type environment for 8 to 12 weeks before setting outside. Apply a little cooper sulphate mist to the plant for the black spot. That might be a fungus on the stem, the cooper will help to control that. ... Start misting the plants (leaves only) with water a couple of times a day until the plant starts growing new leaves and the roots adjust to the new pot & soil. The soil needs to be moist to dry. Apply 12 to 15 grams of slow release fertilizer which should be good for about 2 months. After about 3 weeks of shaded sunlight slowly adjust the plant to full sunlight.

Re: help with my 2 banana plants
They are TC, but big ones. It looks like the size Green earth ships out. Personally I find plants of all types prefer to be outside where God intended. I put mine in the ground and put a lawn chair to shade the midday sun for the first week or so and mine grew fine. To each his own, I guess. If they were six inches tall with stems like pencils then maybe some time in the greenhouse, but those are pretty big for TC...
One thing about Green earth, you won't know what you have until you're eating it.

Re: help with my 2 banana plants
I totally agree. Move them outside if it's warm enough. Partial shade for a week then full sun. Worst case they will burn a little and all the new leaves will be fine. I laughed because I also use the lawn chair method! It works great haha. Your plants are plenty large enough to be outside. Bananas love it outside. More than any other plant I've ever grown.

Re: help with my 2 banana plants
Hi Kira-
Welcome aboard the Banana Express. If your plants came from Green Earth, I was quite pleased with what I received.
