Default Re: My second banana plant

Nice tomato and basil? seedlings! Ok so some online nursery cut the leaves of the bananas like that for shipping. It is simply because they figure the biggest leaves are gonna get smashed anyway for shipping so if they cut them, they probably will look nicer to you when you receive them.
I agree with Country Boy. Those big pots are nice but you need to start much smaller and just pot up until the banana get's bigger to lessen chance of rot. Get a fast-draining mix for the small guy.
