# I have a red leaf banana plant that I adore and it was full and doing…

_Posted by Jordyn on 2023-02-23_

I have a red leaf banana plant that I adore and it was full and doing great, then the tip of the leafs started browning and drying out so I had to cut off a bunch of leafs. Now I only have one healthy leaf left! Pls help me save this baby!!  
I’m open to any advice!

How much light does your banana plant get? ☺️

There is a sky light right above her!

#### Elin replied on 2023-02-23

In general, skylights can provide a good amount of natural light for plants, but they may not be enough to fully meet the needs of plants that require full sun, such as your banana plant. Full sun plants typically require at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day, which may be difficult to achieve with a skylight alone. So you should consider moving your plant to a brighter location and/or supply it with grow lights ☺️  
When your plant has started to settle into the brighter spot you can go ahead a repot it too. It looks like it could use a slightly bigger pot and some fresh soil 🌿
