Keep us posted

Re: Why are these new banana leaves so weird?

Hm...I guess if you just leave them alone, other than water, for a few weeks you will likely get a better picture of what is going on. If they recover without intervention then maybe it was...

Re: New leaf coming out weird. Not unraveling correctly

It will sort itself out, probably just fine. Is it possible that you may have fertilized recently and the new leaf behind the one in question is growing faster than the one in question can straighten?

Re: Pruning bananas leaves

Several members on here say only cut off brown or dead leaves. Anything green is still providing energy to the plant.

Re: Why are my banana plant leaves folding inward?

Yes it's because of heat, all of mine do it even if they are well watered

They will open back up once it cools down late afternoon, nothing to worry about
