I've done about everything you can do to kill a plant at some point or another, and had success at it! But it has taught me what not to do in the future. Hopefully this will be one of those learning experiences, without the death of the plant! Good luck!!!

I 'found' a cutting from an unnamed banana outside a restaurant in Italy earlier this year and its just about to unfurl its first leaf. So patience is the name of the game.

I would give it lots of TLC, plenty of warmth and humidity (but with ventilation too), and bright conditions (but no direct sunlight) I expect to see photos of it sprouting in a week or two.

fingers crossed, good luck

Kev
That's right Kev, I did come through as a pessimist. That's kind of the opposite to the spirit here at bananas.org, so I see I will have to work on beeing a better team player! Afterall, this forum is for finding solutions to the problem!

What I should have added on my earlier post is that I have had individual seedlings go through the same thing. Just refusing to grow, wilting, and turning brown for no apparent reason. Not many, but that one or two in a batch.

To be honest, the plant in question doesn't look good. I have tried many times to nurse these kinds back to health (we all hate killing plants), but get dissapointed every time. For instance: I had the blues for a few days this winter when I lost my 2 and only "true" nagensium seedlings to the same conditions. So now I try to focus on keeping the "healthy" plants healthy.

I do hope the ladyfinger gets throuh it, my best advice would be to not stress the roots anymore, site it in a bright location inside, keep it well watered, and try not to move it. - But again, the best action has already been taken...
