Default Re: leaves choking? or normal?

Thanks all. I am quite certain it was root bound. At least I don't see how a plant that big (2 1/2" diameter base of pstem) can survive properly in a 6" pot, as they had it. Also, I am certain it was over watered. This is the first banana that I have 'rescued'

The pot didn't state which cultivar it is. I don't think that the florist at the grocery store even knew it was a banana. I called the greenhouse that supplies the store with all their plants. When I spoke to the banana man there, he assured me that it is a dc not a sdc or any other.

I guess time will tell all. I have only had it repotted a few days. I haven't fed it yet but may today. I potted 6 others the same day..all tcs..various cultivars, they have all put out new leaves already..less than a week since they were all potted.

Thanks again for the input.
