I don't really know if this is normal or not. This came from Florida Hill Nursery in early May, and hasn't grown since. Leaves have yellowed slightly, and one set of leaves has come in, replacing the first set, but nothing recently. |

Plants that small would have a hard time with water fluctuations, and sunlight in the ground. I usually grow mine in pots until they have at least a foot and a half of stem. That way conditions can be better controlled until they are able to deal with extremes, Orinoco is usually a pretty strong plant when older. Also, all new plants I get are gradually placed in stronger sunlight over a period of a week so they dont get burned.

Thanks! I have learned with any plants I get in the mail that I have to acclimate them gradually to both the sunlight and the heat, although even so they usually drop the leaves they arrive with.
For this banana specifically, what would you recommend? Shade? Potting it?
I had also heard that yellow leaves can indicate either over or under watering, and since the ground is constantly thoroughly moist, I reduced how much I was watering it, with no change.
Thanks!
