Default Re: Tips for growing bananas & anything else. Got any?

Sandy,

There are acid-forming urea-free water-soluble formulas for soil-less media. But perhaps you are using one of these already?

I know you are not overwatering, but amateurs should note that this is the primary cause of yellowing leaves. As you have noted, rising pH is another. A third cause I often see is a root-bound plant in a pot.
