Musa cavendishii
 

hello all,
Is anyone out there growing Musa cavendishii and if so do you have
any good advise or tips on growing them as this is my first nana plant. i have a few concerns since i have brought the plant indoors for the winter it was growing very well but i had to move the plant from in front of the window while we had the Christmas tree up and it started to loose its leaves quicker than normal i have now moved it back to the window but it has only got three of its leaves left and one on its way out. I also have noticed that my trunk is all brown but all the photos i have see the nana trunks are mainly green am i keeping it too wet

Hello, sounds to me like your over-watering your banana.Also sounds to me like you have a Musa cavendish. I would cut back on the watering during the winter months. Give it as much light as you can also.

As i bought my banana plant from www.jungleseeds.com Musa cavendishii is the name on the bill. I forgot to mention the pups there were 5 pups but 4 went brown but i now have new growth on all five this must be a good sign
