# This is my first time owning a string of bananas and this guy isn’t…

_Posted by Silvia on 2024-07-28_

This is my first time owning a string of bananas and this guy isn’t doing so well. I know these guys are sensitive to water so I’m scared of watering it. I’m gonna move it to a better pot with drainage holes. Any tips?

If you curl it around inside the pot it will root down. It looks thirsty.
