Default Re: New leaves snapping upon emerging

Do you use a moisture meter with a long probe. Sometimes, what seems lots of rain just drains away and leaves dry soil quickly. I would check the moisture around the roots. Bananas love water.

Someone from Extension Services told me Florida soil is basically sand and the surest way to be a happy gardener here was to first choose local species acclimated to the soil and see gardening in this kind of soil as modified hydroponics.
