I bought my first 4 Musa Basjoo's banana trees and they finally arrived yesterday after a long 5 day wait. They looked ok out of the box but they wasn't thriving like I hoped for. Without dooing proper research I re poted them using black cow manure compost mix, bloodmeal, and some other organic potting mix I had laying around. Plus I wanted to get them out of thoes purple pots they came in LOL. After I had them all Potted I gave them a nice drink of water that came out of my koi pond......I figured it couldn't hurt any. Today they really don't seem any more lively, it almost seems that the leaves have drooped a little more. I want to go out and buy the highly recommend cactus/palm mix and repot the weaker of the 2 and plant the other 2 when I no for sure they can handle the stress of another move weather it be a pot or a permanent site. Could it stand the stress of another repot? Or should I just leave it be for a while? Uploaded some pictures for suggestions and help. I'm going to need it

Morning sun only
Light on the watering
Slowly ramp up the sun / water as you see positive growth

I'll get right on that! But to answer your question I live in Eastern North Carolina.

Like I said, start with the cactus/palm mix if you are going to keep them potted. If you want to put them in the ground, which is what you should do, dig a hole a couple feet in diameter and fill it with potting soil and Stall Dry. You can get the latter at any farm supply store.
