I have a Musa Basjoo that has been looking rather ill, the leaves that were once nice and green have begun to die, about 2 days ago I removed 2 nice healthy pups from it due to the fact they were outgrowing the container and mother plant, they are recovering from the shock as is the mother in the picture I'm sure but even before I removed the pups the leaves were all drying out and dying.
The pot she is in needs proper drainage holes in the bottom that much I know but other then the possibility of root rot I cant seem to understand whats wrong with it. There is one pup still attached to the mother that I left alone due to it being still a bit too small for me to separate, it looks fine as did the pups but the mother.. just look at the pics she looks terrible. Were the pups draining her?
Suggestions? should I cut her back and hope she pushes out some new leaves? Either way I look at it I haven't lost, I bought her from Lowes a few months ago and got 3 nice pups from her. Still I'd like to keep her alive.
