New Growth Yellow?

mbfirey · 09-01-2009, 03:43 PM

Just bought a Blue Java last week and I've got it in a container- its first leaf just unrolled but it's very yellow- Is this normal? We had rain and clouds all day yesterday- could it be for lack of sun? The leaf isn't wilted or anything- just yellowish- don't have any experience with bananas yet- anyone know what might be wrong?

mostly is should be light green then darken over a period of a few days to a week but some plant are like that it could be a nutrient deficiency as long as you are fertilizing id say it will be OK you could hit it with some Kelp extract to make sure its got all its trace minerals watch how long it takes to turn dark green then get back to me and let me know all be Abel to say more based on that or you could take some pictures and post them that would be a big help

Any sugestion what is causing this??? It is planted in garden soil, maybe some element deficient? Also we had few rainy days, and temps. are low over night, going around 10 deg. C

garden soil isn't good. it's too compact for a pot, you need more open space for drainage like a soil less mix. Was it just potted up recently, or has it been growing like that for a while in this pot of garden soil? and what kind of fertilizer are you using?

In that soil vegetables are doing well... i added sand and turkey manure. At first it was doing well, and week or two ago it started looking like this. potted month or two ago, it exploded with growth when i potted it in this big pot.

Update on my IC- the leaf turned green just like the rest after about a week, just got another new leaf yesterday... still a bit yellow but not as bright as the first one- I'm sure it will turn greener in a day or 2.
