It could be light related as well maybe too much or not enough…? ### Lyndaさんが2025-01-05にコメントしました Hmmmm… what kind of soil is your plant potted in? It looks kind of strange… #### Wolfen 🐺さんが2025-01-05に返信しました I was just gonna ask. Is that sand? ### Lyndaさんが2025-01-05にコメントしました It would be good to get some history for this plant, like how long you’ve had it, when did the problem start, have you checked for pests and fungus? Any kind of history will be helpful to other members that read this post. Good luck! ### Wolfen 🐺さんが2025-01-05にコメントしました So I keep mine in smallish pots in comparison to size. They go in an amended Foxfarm soil mix. Fertilized/watered every 12-14 days. Misted daily. They like bright light, south window or a 5000lux + light. ### Himaさんが2025-01-05にコメントしました The plant is in plastic container with potting soil and top coat of sand. I started using sand as top layer to avoid gyants.The plant is 6 months old. #### Wolfen 🐺さんが2025-01-05に返信しました Gotcha ### Sunnyさんが2025-01-05にコメントしました My first impression is the pot is too big. This could contribute to both an overwatering or under watering condition. Overwatering can happen if you fully saturate the soil and the plant can’t use up the water before the roots start to rot. The thick sand on top could be slowing the evaporation process further extending an overwatering problem. Under watering can occur when the soil is not fully watered. Watering only around the plant could cause the dry areas to wick away the moisture around the plant. I don’t know which condition applies to your plant. I recommend verifying the soil is at about half dry before watering. The leaves will look limp if the plant needs water. Give it 12 hours of full sunlight in a south facing window, if possible. Wolfen’s recommendations are great. Bananas need a lot of light. ### Wolfen 🐺さんが2025-01-05にコメントしました So here's my aray of bananas. (Ignore the one with neem oil burn 😢😭) you can see the pots are pretty small in comparison to yours. ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/LABcXOiTFudmBUCsau2S0dZnnxDdeMAvwSHhNs7sG2k/Tu6NuL84RhKCu5cDVthwQg.webp?size=large) #### Wolfen 🐺さんが2025-01-05に返信しました Baby Florida and Pink Nonos ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/LABcXOiTFudmBUCsau2S0dZnnxDdeMAvwSHhNs7sG2k/ZrwfLQBsQ9q5IpG-1w_xJA.webp?size=large) --- _Plantaコミュニティ (https://getplanta.com)。閲覧はどなたでも可能です。投稿、コメント、いいねをするには、Plantaアプリをダウンロードしてください: https://getplanta.com/download_
