Hi friends! I have two banana plants. When I first potted them, they were doing great! Started putting out a new leaf as soon as the previous unfurled. The last few days, I noticed the leaves wilting a bit and getting ripply. I checked the soil to see if if was too wet. I’ve had a sun lamp on it about 8 hours a day set to about half brightness. Any ideas why they’re getting sad? The leaves used to stand out more instead of drooping downward and they were smooth vs rippled. They’re scheduled for a water fertilizer but I’m nervous to shock them anymore. Or is it what they need to get their spring back?

Well if it's not over watering could it be underwatering? It says they are very thirsty plant and heavy feeders have you fertilized it recently? I've always wanted a banana tree 💛🥹 how about humidity?

I just watered with fertilizer. Fingers crossed that’s what they wanted

I just repotted with soil specifically for banana plants. Hoping it helps
