Possible disease?
Hello all,
I am a newbie in banana planting, so I'm seeking useful informations regarding my banana plant. I got a plant from friend of mine. It's growing pretty nice and fast, about a leave per week.
Anyway some leaves have got brown, dry spots. Not sure if the plant was fertilized too much or was exposured to direct sun as a young plant. New leaves are growing fine without spots or any visible signs of disease though.
Second thing that worries me is growing black spot on a stem. Could it be a disease? Or is it fine? What confuses me is fact that plant is growing fast a have got nice green leaves without spots.
The soil is mix of some palm tree soil and pearlite in rate of 50:50. Water draining is very good, most of water is draining down immediatelly.
Plant is growing inside, got about 73°F constantly during the day and the night. Humidity is about 60% +/-. I'm spraying the plant with water 2-3 times per day.
Please find attached picture.
Any respond and help will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance
Alan
