Question problems with Basjoo

I've had this Basjoo in the ground at least a month now, and unlike all the other Bananas that I've planted that look beautiful green and large leaves, this Basjoo has had small pale thin leaves that have gotten smaller. I put out this basjoo, 2 orinocos, one IC, a DC, and a Raja Puri, they've all put on 3-4 great leaves and most have 2-3 pups.
This plant had major spider mite problems during the winter, but I thought it would improve once I got in the ground. It's had plenty of Fertilizer and water (we've had tons of rain).
Any clues as to what the problem is? I can't figure out what happened to this Basjoo.

Default Re: problems with Basjoo

My 3 thoughts are:
A. it's been really wet- maybe too wet
B. Still recovering from the bad spider mite attack this winter.
C. Maybe burnt from the mushroom compost I mixed when planting or fertilizer?

Hard to know what to do....

Maybe fertilizer burn. Just to be sure it not dampness I would pull back a little mulch. Maybe if it's a tad dryer that would help.

I'll start with that...but if it's fertilizer would it be best to try to move it? Or just wait?
It seems pretty week for a move. Since it wasn't very green I had actually added more fertilizer. We had so much rain that I thought it would have removed any excess fert in the ground...that's why it's the prob is so confusing. Basjoo is supposed to be one of the "tougher" bananas but as of the moment looks the worst.

I think if it's over fertilization it should recover. Doesn't look that bad. As you said the water will help rid the soil of over fertility.
