Root issue with TC bananas
These guys are two years old this April. 3”-6” tall. Noticed a few weeks ago they were wilting and hadn’t watered lately. Thought maybe pots were too small so repotted and they had a lot of roots. Two-three weeks later they are still wilting, pulled them out and most of the roots are dead. So mixed up the soil with a bunch more perlite. Then repotted them. Now all the leaves are wilting except center leaves come out. I’m thinking I should just not water them for a few weeks? Anyone?

Re: Root issue with TC bananas
without pics i would say replant in dry mix and don't water. have a banana that was doing good till i waterd. the potting soil looked like the sahara desert before i watered.
when their growing in the summertime they love moist soil. in the winter time not so much.

Re: Root issue with TC bananas
Yo. I ended up moving them to a second greenhouse that I have that has more room and they have started to do a 180 and they’re looking a lot better.

Re: Root issue with TC bananas
Maybe it was the humidity? Dry air means pots drying up faster.
