It seems that my banana plant leaves are drooping and dying at the stem.

The leaf itself is healthy, any thoughts? Maybe time for a repot?

Is it getting enough light? Banana plants need full sunlight.

I would check the bottom of the stem, is it squishy? And how damp is the soil? Are you allowing it to dry out between watering? As stated above, it needs full light and without enough light, you could be watering it too much.

Thanks everyone, more light, less water 😁
