Hello everyone,
I hope everyone is having a good summer! So I've recently noticed these mysterious leaf problems on several of my banana plants. It has been very hot and dry here ( >90 F temps with no rain in 2-3 weeks). Despite supplemental watering every morning, they can be bone dry it seems by the end of the day sometimes. I can't tell if its heat stress/leaf burn or maybe dehydration or fertilizer burn or something else? Two of them also look very pale green instead of a healthy, deep green. But in their state, I'm afraid fertilizer (if it isn't the cause), would make it worse. Any help would be really appreciated!
