Yellowing Musa

hilashes · 09-28-2009, 05:02 PM

I've noticed my Basjoo yellowing quite a bit and also has a few little black dots. I'm wondering if it's too late to add a bit of blood meal to it to green it up. That or it's the tons of tiny little bugs under the leafs causing it to yellow. Should I just spray it with insecticide for spider mites and just leave it alone until the spring to fertilize it again?

Thanks
Heidi

If they're truly little tiny bugs on the underside of the leaves, they might be spider mites>

Thank you for your replies! Here are pictures of the leaves. A lot of them suffered leaf burn in our hot summer days. Can I do something for the black spots and yellowing now or is it too late in the season?
