AEAE (Manini) - Question for those who grow it
Hello Dear Friends,
A friend of mine has Purchased an AeAe pup, He kept it indoors during winter time and it seemed to be fine, it pushed 2 new leaves during the winter, Then when it started to get warmer he took it out, Placed in a pot and in a semi shaded area but it got a decent amount of sun, after a few days It started to get Sun Burns, and older leafs started to die since its sun exposure wasn't step by step... he also transplanted it and placed it in a pot twice as big as it was in before, and the root system was very small when the transplantion took place, he also did another mistake as far as i'm concerned, he soaked the plant while transplanting, It did not "Helped" the plant, it got one stress after another, root trauma and over watering. Now it's almost 3 weeks after it had the trauma and it was placed in a shaded area to recover the plant haven't show no progress since then, its not "Pushing" new leafs, it haven't even finished to "Push" its last leaf, the pseudo stem is still "Hard" and not showing signs of rot or anything, from my personal experiance with bananas when they are in really bad condition the pseudostem become over soked and when you touch it , It feels like a sponge, but this is not the case with the AeAe stem, Its still hard when touched, I will add a few pics, I need a good advice what my friend needs do to make it recover ? is it on its way to bite the dust ....or if the trauma it went through will make it break open and "Restart" itself with a new pup - from its current pesudostem ? Banana Gallery - AEAE3 Banana Gallery - AEAE21 Banana Gallery - AEAE4 thanks ahead for your help cheers.

Looks a little stressed, but should be just fine.

Re: AEAE (Manini) - Question for those who grow it
Looks ok to me too. Most likely it’s paused due to the weather. If it gets around 45f just one night a week it is enough to keep one from growing! Just don’t water it much until you see active growth. AEAE is very sensitive to tempature and moisture. Especially when small.
Good luck!

Re: AEAE (Manini) - Question for those who grow it
This type of banana or most of other plants would be shock and confuse , when so anything happening in their environment in a short period time. Add to that your friend and your worry . It make you and your friend feel like time is going by so slowly. Just give it sometime to recover. The thing that catch my eyes the most is not your friend banana plant ,but its soil. Is it peat moss or coco coir or something else ? Sphagnum peat moss when moist would look more like dark brow . If the peat moss an coco coir break down correctly, it would have the similar dark brown color. I know most people whom grow AeAe would think this banana like acid soil. However, too much of a good thing can do more harm than good, especially the peat moss and the coco coir I hope this just a top layer and I hope the rest of its soil would be mixing with other organic matter soil that already breaking down. Whatever it is , at this point just leave it alone and let the banana adjust to its new environment.
