The first few days I got it it was sunny, I just put some trays with water near it and it was seriously making a leaf per day. Since then I got some horrible weather here (Summer in the Netherlands: 40 degrees and rain). Temperatures started dropping and the sun hasn't been seen for most of the week.

It's near a radiator (the place with most sun...) so I started misting 2-3x per day to make up for lost humidity. Even the new leaf that is emerging already has a black tip, and the black stuff is now spreading to the sides. The recently made leaves are still doing fine (although they are slowly losing firmness) but the oldest leaves are starting to lose color and limp.

Normal? Or is the thing slowly dying? It's still growing, for a normal plant rather fast but really slow after seeing the growth it had in the first few days.

Stop misting it's to much

KokoTheMonkey

Ups. None at at all? Or once per day?

Thanks.

I would not mist it until you get warm weather. I never mist my plants

I'll keep an eye out for these, but so far the leaves look crisp and healthy and there do not appear to be any bugs on them. I think it's the misting.

I was a little excessive with it because we have really dry air here, being exacerbated by the fact that they're near the radiator to keep them above 65 F. The radiator, however, only starts up in spring/summer when there's no sun. Lack of sun...too much water...I can understand that causes problems because when it was sunny I had to really soak the ground twice a day, while now it remains damp for days after a small amount of watering with cloudy and rainy weather.

Just today I've gotten another problem. A few days ago I repotted and moved my banana plant from a eastern to a western window. It's gone from some morning sun to very strong midday/evening sun (easily 6 hours/day).

The leaves have started limping big time. No discolouration. A new leaf came out today, and it was firm and standing up an hour ago and now it's limping aswell (though not as bad as the older leaves).

Is this just temporary shock from moving and repotting? I stopped misting, and I think the watering is spot on (wait until dry then I water a good amount). Although the sun could certainly be too strong at this location.

Edit: Now that the sun is away the leaves look better. Not "healthy" but they look less limpy. Is the sun too strong? Should I limit the sun exposure and slowly let it get used to it? It's not even that I moved it from no sun to strong sun, it's just that the weather was crap until 2 days ago and today just had really strong sun.
