New Plants and Wilting
I received 3 new dwarf banana plants 4 days ago. I planted them 3 days ago. I watered and fertilized them. 1 looks good, 1 is wilting a little and 1 is wilting a lot. I have grown plants before but I never fertilized them. Do you think its the fertilizer causing the wilt? What do you recommend?
The plants are about 1 ft high. Banana Gallery - larrylwill Gallery |

Re: New Plants and Wilting
If you just received them, you should not fertilize them until you see them pushing new growth. Also make sure you are not overwatering, and they should be in dappled sunlight or under shade cloth until they recover.

Re: New Plants and Wilting
It's amazing how little water the small plantlets need at first. Resist the urge. Stick a potato in the hose-pipe or whatever it takes but stop watering them for a while.
