leave them. as long as they're green they're generating energy for the plant

"leave them. as long as they're green they're generating energy for the plant"
nope...the plant needs better root formation in order to supply the leaves...clearly this plant has too many leaves for it's roots to support-cut the leaves in order to allow root growth, and all will be better. |

Hi Shawn,
of course they will make it. Pushing out a new leaf is a sure sign for that, even if it was pre-existent. The plants are just suffering from transplanting shock. Bananas often react quite unpredictably to a change of their environment. As far as the leaves are concerned I strongly support the suggestions of Merce3 to leave them be. They serve as solar panels as long as they are green, absorbing CO2 and converting that into plant mass. If the roots cannot support the evapo-transpiration of the leaves, the plant will know and shed them. Right now it does not appear to do that, even if the leaves appear a bit limp. Good Luck, Olaf |
Re: Will they make it???
fwiw, my transplanted arh had broken petioles when i transplanted it about two months ago. i didn't cut any of them off and they are still green as the day i planted them. if they weren't doing their job they would have browned and withered and some of them did, but the majority stayed green and it has shot two leaves out since.

In time your plant will most likely lean away from the structure, similar to the cannas in your photo. |
Re: Will they make it???
Hey thanks for the advice on moving them an I have thought of doing it now, its just I have got to get some perilite to mix in my soil , there in a mix of the original ground dirt 1/3 top soil an 1/3 manure now but I'm worried it may stay to wet, the land drains well, but for this winter I'm not sure about...
