Siam Ruby's hurt
Hi, my Siam Ruby is hurt. Got this from a friend not long ago. The 1st leave that rolled out is the first photo. First I thought it would recover, but now the second leave isn;t complete either (2nd photo), and it didn't een roll out! Does anybodyknow what causes this. and more, what to do about this?
Grtz, Marguerite |

Re: Siam Ruby's hurt
Something similar happened to me, but it was some rock or dead bug. It blocked the way for the leaf and as it was growing, the bug/rock cut some parts of the leaf.
This can also occur (at least I imagine it so), when there is some inner damage in the P-stem that forms a small barricade through which an emerging leaf can't get. It's a bad luck, but as soon as the P-stem expands after several more leaves, it should be OK. Good luck.

Re: Siam Ruby's hurt
Are you getting a lot of rain by chance? This happened to a few of mine(not as bad) but the problem corrected itself.

Re: Siam Ruby's hurt
there was a thread not long ago on this i think the conclusion was that its a calcium deficiency that would be my best guess try feed it some and maybe hit it with some trace minerals just to be sure thats how i would handle it in my garden

Re: Siam Ruby's hurt
Yeah, my Ensete Maurelii has been doing similar such things recently. The most recent leaf looks okay, though....so I'm hoping it's done with all that.

Re: Siam Ruby's hurt
We have soils full of calcium and it did this anyway. Dunno. Maybe its just the bananas laziness to develop properly.

Re: Siam Ruby's hurt
My Red Iholena has this unfurling problem. I have thought it could be heat with lack of rain, but that does not seem to be the case. I will try to rule out calcium or other deficiency. Thank you for displaying this shared problem.

Re: Siam Ruby's hurt
think it never hurts to make sure that you are giving your plants Micros as well as Macros most abnormalities will clear up on their own if your give proper nutrition its a blanket approach but what can you really expect from a question posed on the net but general info Right Jack?

Re: Siam Ruby's hurt
Thanks all,
I got the plant exactly 3 weeks ago. There hasn't been much rain lately, so I don't think it got too much water on the top (very hot, much sun, I water 'em properly, they like it!!!). Repotted the plant after the first damaged leaf came out. I'll search for some trace elements, never used that before. And indeed Damaclese, that will not hurt We'll see what happens with the third leave. Hope there's nothing strange inside that's eating the plant |

Re: Siam Ruby's hurt
i think the consensus was heat/low humidity and possibly a lack of minerals

Re: Siam Ruby's hurt
NOOOOO! Do not EVER wet leaves of plants during the hot part of the day!!! The beads of water act as a magnifying glass in the sun and bake the leaves....never a good idea. Mist at night, water in the early morning or late evening...but do NOT water during the middle of the day....especially the leaves. If you want more humidity around your plant, you could set out pails of water around it to create a micro-climate or something...just don't water the leaves in the sun.

living in the third hottest place in north America i can tell you that some plants thrive on having there leafs wet during the day for example studies have shown that Palms benefit from the wetting of there leafs there are many examples of this affect but for the sake of brevity i wont site more unless other wise requested misting at night permits fungal and bacterial growth the leafs stay wet for extended periods of time i cant recommend this and defiantly if your humidity is high its bad Musa And Ensete are particularly pron to fungal attacks in wet conditions at night and i want to say one last thing if what you say is true my plants would be toast they get misted 3 times a day when the temps are over 100
