This banana plant has been giving me the blues. She is as initially holding water in her nursery pot. I’ve changed it to a chunky soil mix and now she looks worse than before. I currently have her under a grow light but I’m at a loss.

What did the roots look like when you repoted?

### PrettyPlantMom13 commented on 2026-08-31

Small roots but they were firm

If she was drowning and then repotted, maybe it’s just shock.

It’s already been repotted.

Mine took a dive like this \& then I discovered an outrageous spider mite infestation 🤬 I got rid of those suckers \& it immediately perked back up

I’ll check. As of today we have a new leaf forming
