I dont grow abaca (Musa textilis), i have one which is called Musa textilis but is really some M. balbisiana hybrid (seems to be the only one you can buy in the USA), it was doing ok, took a very long time to get rooted but then as of a few days ago the leaves started to wilt for no reason I can see, except maybe because its been cooler lately. I was going to get some real Musa textilis but didnt have room or a need for them at this point.
