Default Transplant shock?
Is this an issue?

I'm moving fresh pups from crappy California 'soil' and I use the term soil loosely....

to pots with a custom mix of a composted potting soil, manure, perlite and a touch of coco soil.

How large a problem can I expect?

thanks

They should be fine, if you remove a lot of roots however then you might have to cut the leaves off so that the banana can recover in their new home.

Although I was quick with replanting, I just noticed some droopiness and dessication in the edges in the larger ones.

Although pretty much all of them have new growth, new leaves shooting up from the centers.........

If you only have droopy leaves or a few dying leaves that's no problem. They will be fine. It's not from the new soil.

It's good for you.

The ones that are putting on growth go ahead and water as usual.. The others go easy on the water until you start seening new growth.

From a quick glance, it looked like ALL of them had new growth, but I haven't had time to examine them all.

Pretty much why I wasn't real worried, but thought I'd ask anyway.

Question..
Have read mention of using manure in the potting soil mix, is this raw manure, which does have a strong odor, or dried manure. I have access to both since we have five head of cattle and they can provide more than enough. Compost is plentiful since the worms do a great job but can't keep up with the supply.

Usually it's dried composted manure.

Cut all but two of the leaves off then cut the two you leave on in half. Pot them up, water, then keep them in the shade to reduce transpiration until they start to show signs of new growth.
