Default Re: My two dwarves look bad

If they were brown, probably not enough water, planting in a pot just a bit bigger like you did is probably best, hopefully now they will perk up. The super dwarf cavendish types still get pretty big root bases, and trunks, mine are probably about 3 1/2 feet tall including leaves, and they make a little potted grove. I usually spray the leaves on mine indoors in winter because you have to watch for spider mites, they can really do a lot of damage quickly before you realize it and the leaves will yellow and shrivel. I usually just let the soil dry on the surface about an inch in winter before watering again, although I have noticed some of my bananas like Musa Yunnanensis seem to go dormant no matter how much water they get, and growth about stops.
