The last couple of days I've noticed my Siam Ruby bananas are drooping more and more. Upon closer inspection of the leaves, they feel a little dry to me, almost like what banana leaves feel like after placed in sun when they are not acclimated. First a little history, these were planted at the end of May. Temperatures have mainly been between 80 and 90 during the day and 60 and 70 at night. I feed with Miracle Grow once a week and have been since I planted them. The soil is moist around them. The new roller is advancing as normal out of the plant.

At first I thought they were drooping in the hot sun like bananas sometimes do, but I looked at them this morning and they still look all droopy while my other bananas are standing at attention! Maybe some of you can help me figure this out, because I would hate to those these guys. They are one of my favorites.

First here's a pic from a week ago when they looked good.

Now here's three pictures from today with them being all droopy.

Thanks for any help you might have.
