Help. Repotting pitfalls
Hi there,
I’m new to the banana plant world and I’ve had my banana plant (who I have named stewart😂 for about a month and a half. I repotted him today to a larger pot and his new leaf that was growing snapped off. The leaf broke in a clean snap and no other areas were damaged. Will the plant continue to grow as usual and just have a half leaf or do I need to do something special now that this has happened. I’m very sad about this, any input would be appreciated! |

Stewart will be fine. The plant will most likely stop growing for several days, possibly a week because of transplant shock. The half leaf only has a chance of helping the plant get over the shock. Always remenber, but don't let it keep you up at night : don't overwater! Just feel the soil, it you are questioning if the plant is too dry. Or you could use a moisture meter thingie lol |
