Default Re: Musella lasiocarpa need some help

Consider these possibilities (since some of these issues were not included in your info):

Not warm enough for this variety, even if others are happy. My grown plant defoliates every winter, worse than any other banana I grow).

Too much water, or soil doesn't drain well enough, and roots are rotting.

Too much fertilizer.

Less light because it is crowded out by other plants which are taller.

Any signs of insects, fungus, mold, etc. Look really close at foliage, and inspect soil.

I haven't grown from seed, but all of these are conditions for successful plants, regardless of what the plant is - and even similar plants of the same genus can have wide variances in their requirements.

Maybe you should separate them into 2/3 groups and try different things on each group, and see what helps.
