Leaves starting to brown and fall off please help
Hi. Bought a banana plant (unsure which kind) three weeks ago. When I got it it was very green and healthy. Has since started to brown on the smaller lower leaves first and now moving upwards to the larger leaves at the top. I had it in a corner slightly away from the window so I am worried it may not have been getting enough water but I am unsure. I have moved it closer to the window now. Will upload pictures to gallery. Please help!

Re: Leaves starting to brown and fall off please help
Didn't find the pix. Sounds like it is indoors, in which case it needs sunlight. Browning of leaves is quite frequently a sing of too little water, bu7t need to see specific pix.

That is Giant Bird of Paradise.
Probably needs a larger pot. May be to restricted to take up enough water. Not sure how well they do as house plants. Probably needs some sun.
