HI,
Same thing happend to myself, but in the garden. I had added it on the same irrgation system as my other palms, cacti's etc. It does not need much water at all. I over watered it and the shrivelled. No rescueing it I'm afraid, best to start again and remember, it need very little water in the summer and next to none in the winter.
I have eight banana plants, one giant , one dwarf and the rest Musa Lia something or another.
The Giant one is about 5 feet tall now, the others about 4, and the dwarf a mere two foot tall, all have pups expect the giant one, all were planted last year. What I need to know is when do they fruit? what do I feed them? and ....
One of the Musa's has just unfolded a new leaf and its not upright as usual, but droops. I have given it extra water, but it does not seem to help.
It is hot all year round, and this september/october the temp has risen into the mid 50c at times. I always make sure they have lots and lots of water, so I do not know why this one is drooping, have I watered it too much? Another one has a slightly droopy leave, but not as bad as the other.
Can you please give me some advise as to what I am doing wrong. Thank you
