Flag Leaf on Container Ice Cream!! Nutrition for Fruiting?
Hey everyone,
I am so excited! I went out this morning to water some plants and saw a flag leaf unfurling on my Ice Cream banana! It's on its second year in a 30 gal smart pot. It definitely looks cramped, but still pretty healthy. There might have at best two more months of warmish weather before the first frosts, so I don't think the fruit will be able to ripen completely outdoors. Is it possible to bring the plant in and have it finish ripening on the plant indoors? Several of the leaves also look unhealthy. I've fertilized several times with Miracle Grow and High Yield Grower's Special, which seems to have helped, but not cured the problem. I suspect a nutrient deficiency (I'm thinking potassium), but I'm not sure. I posted a few pictures of the leaves in question. Any help or suggestions would be really appreciated. Thanks!
