Re: just tried to grow my first pup= Failure
I never immediately put any new plant in the ground unless I know its history of sun exposure. Here in FL I have some bananas growing in full sun; they're not happy. The ones on the east side of my house which are sheltered after about 2PM are thriving--same dirt for each group. As for the science of soil, in over 35 years of gardening I've never had mine tested--ever. I plant everything in well balanced compost so I rarely fertilize much less add other stuff. Repotting is what I'd do; in a larger pot than one would think necessary. Using known good dirt is excellent. I'd also place it in a shady spot and keep it watered. If she's a TC, you may have lost her; if she's a pup, your odds for her recovering are better.
