I have Bordelons that ritually fold up each day in the heat and unfold after the sun goes down.
I can post a pic if it helps diagnose your challenge.
Also my Siams are not the most cool tolerant of bananas they love the heat and indirect sunlight; but hate coming indoors for the winter. They are my only plant which dies back to the corm.
I hope yours sort themselves out soon.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I have also noticed the Bordelon folding phenomenon. Sometimes it's just because it is a hot day and sometimes it is because it is really thirsty! I also had the same experience with my Siams. After losing a few completely over the winter, I started paying my closer attention but even if they made it thru New Years by Spring the p-stem would rot and it would survive only thru new pups when the heat and light returned.

Glad to know it wasn't just my faulty banana growing skillz!!
