# Is it ok if my Banana leaf is growing in like this? First time plant…

_Posted by Fortress Maximus on 2026-07-31_

Is it ok if my Banana leaf is growing in like this? First time plant owner here and I accidentally bought ALL dying plants, i did nurse them all back luckily! But was wondering if it’s ok if it grows in like this?

All pictures taken this week to show how it has begun turning so heavily, does it maybe need light from a different direction?

It’s normal, it’s still making its way out. Once the leaf gets out it’ll fully unfurl.
