A banana grows like grass, the grow point is at soil level. If the biggest one gets to old (or big) cut it off and continue with the pups . Leaves are made to split because outside it helps with wind (big leaves act like sails, and can snap, so if it rips controlled into smaller leaves it wont damage as much)
I'm glad to see you were able to get yours back from the dead, it gives me hope for mine. Mine was a gift from my husband for our 1st wedding anniversary and 5 months later he ain't looking too good. Guess we are just gonna have to take it slow and build a good routine.
It is called guttation. It is not a problem. Guttation is the secretion of water droplets from the pores of some vascular plants like grass. It usually occurs as a consequence of a combination of high root pressure and high humidity. This often occurs just after sunrise when the plant becomes active, the humidity is high and usually after you've watered the plant. Alocasias do it too. It means your plant has enough water in its system, even a bit much, so it lowers it's 'water pressure' like this.
It’s always amazing when I see banana plants grown in the house. I live in the tropics and banana plants are outside with massive fruit. But I always appreciate how banana plants can be a houseplant as well.
My parents live in sidmouth, Devon. They. Planted a banana in the garden. They now have about 20! And…. Last summer they had two bunches of BANANAS!!! They grow so big! I have two of their babies which I over wintered in my conservatory. They are dormant right now but potting them up this spring to go outside (I’m in wales). Fun times!!
I bought 2 Truly Tiny Musa Banana's to experiment with over the summer. I put one in pon and the other in a more moisture retaining soil mix. The one in soil is doing pretty well, but the one in pon is absolutely thriving! I ended up giving the pon banana to my mom, but I think I'm going to swap mine to pon here soon too. Its also just so much easier to keep up with the watering in pon since these plants are so thirsty
Your plant looks gorgeous omg! My first banana plant died years ago, but having a big banana indoor plant was always my dream so i bought a small one again recently, but it's looking so sad again, all the lower leaves turned yellow and dried off, and i thouth that it needed even less water so i didn't water it much. But after your video i'm sure that was the issue.. 😅🙈 Also not enough light, i live in central europe and never have a sunlight in my apartment, so i just bought a grow light.. wish me luck that i will save this little plant!
Ugh I'm struggling with my banana. I also cut a lot of the leaves back that had big brown spots. Put it out in the sun yesterday and I guess I burned the leaves 🤦🏿♀️ the edges have browned and are curling upward. I'm really struggling 😂
I remember your banana plant to have its leafs sort of stuck inside the stem, so that they would be all really really close together (I hope you know what I mean by that, sorry 😅). It doesn’t look like that in the video at all tho - what did you change? Because right now I have that same struggle with my banana plant :( any tips would be highly appreciated 😊
Hello. Just have a quick question. I recently bought a Banana Dwarf Cavendish and all is going well. Just wondering about the leaves. Mine are mostly nice and green but I notice little brown cuts or something here and there on the leaves, or chew marks but they are not chew marks as it is inside an there are no bugs other than the little microscopic ones that move around if you blow on the soil. Also, if the curl a bit is that normal? Thank you for your time.
My banana plant fell over! I cut off the bent parts cause the leaves wouldnt hold themselves up :( if i put these “bent parts” in water can i grow to a new plant? I want to somehow save my mess up
Mine is looking very sad, I've had to cut it back after it developed scale 👎it has 3 new leaves coming through but with black tips, any ideas how I can give it a boost?
Mine has stopped growing.. all the leaves died and the soil stays wet for a long time... its been a week and the soil is still 75% wet. What dhould i do?? There is a pup growing.. so i dont think its totally dead
This is my one plant that always struggles and I've been so frustrated not to be able to find a solution. No matter what I try, its leaves consistently turn brown around the edges. It always starts with healthy green leaves, only to wilt and give up a couple of months later. I'll try adjusting my watering routine. Thanks for your advice.
Hi Emma have you noticed your banana getting droplets of water on the end of its leaves? Mine lives in a N.W facing window and seems to get wet leaves every now and again, just wondered if you know what would be causing that? 💚
That’s completely normal! Some plants do that to help with their transpiration or something. I forgot the explanation for why they do it, put it’s normal and nothing to worry about! It usually occurs especially after watering
@@jujuuu1 thank you! I’ve got others that do that I.e my Micholitziana, just didn’t expect the banana plant to as it’s up in my bedroom that I though was not ideal conditions, although my Desert roses are thriving up there, go figure 😁.
@@GoodGrowing its incredible these plants get up to 15 meters when not in small variation i guess no bannanas for me then in ww3 What would you plant in ww3 ?

We bought one from Home Dept. for our patio. First time for us and just wanted to make sure we didn't over or under water it.

You explain so well and elaborate. Thank you!
My neighbour leaves her banana tree on her porch all summer & the leaves are toast, covered in blisters

I've got 3 dwarf and 3 truly tiny banana plants and I'm excited to get fruit from them.
For me I prefer TPS Nutrients since it's not as high as most and my plants love it especially their root booster

the tips on mine tend to go a bit black too.. not totally sure why but it might be a watering issue. are you fairly consistent with it?
Love this video ! Thank you for the tips :)

Mine has little white specks on leaves. Like tiny dandruff
could be dust but could also be spider mites... do they move a bit if you look closely?
Can cavandish banana tree plants be in tropical soil?
they can but I recently learned they like something a bit more moisture retentive as they're super thirsty plants
Very nice ❤

I’ve noticed the same for mine!

It’s called guttation. I have a few plants that do this regularly, especially my alocasia stingray.
I didn’t heard anything about yellow leaf or if we need to removed any leads and how
Apparently bananas are classed as a herb?!!!
i am growing bananas for fruit
Can I give my banana plant tomatoe feed
But i want to harvest bananas from indoor plants
Unfortunately I highly doubt that’ll happen 🍌
@@GoodGrowing its incredible these plants get up to 15 meters when not in small variation i guess no bannanas for me then in ww3
What would you plant in ww3 ?
I'm going to grow one from an actual banana, hope it works. And hello from CANADA. ..
