musa basjoo sunburn
 

hi every1 i got a basjoo 3 weeks ago,its only a young plant and its my first time attempting to grow a banana.i live in ireland and the weather is getting fine so i put the basjoo out and after 2 days of sun the leaves have turned brown due to sunburn.should i leave it out in the sun or should i put it back inside?

Re: musa basjoo sunburn
 

if its already been in the sun 2 days it will probley be ok, when you get a new or young nana its best to slowly introduce it to the sun,, as in lite morning sun for a couple days and then a little more and a little more for about 2 weeks, the new leafs it puts on will handle it better even you dont slowly acclimate it,it will be fine,
p.s. welcome to bananas.org matty

They will grow new leaves that will be able to handle the sun no problem. Good luck and welcome. Red
