Those are so hard to keep alive (in my opinion)! Lol mine was beautiful until all but like 4 leaves fell off. But I kept it because I was convinced I could revive it and now I have some new leaves!!

I’m constantly clipping the lower leaves to focus energy on height growth and added 2 pieces of bananas inside the soil and it’s been thriving 🤞🏼hopefully it keeps up

How tall is yours ?

Oh bananas?? Like the peel or the actual banana? Never heard of that. Mine is like maybe 6 or 7 inches tall. I have one stem with no leaves lol it’s so ugly but with new leaves popping up I don’t wanna repot! She looks sad but I love seeing the new growth!
