Re: Post-delivery care & planting of bananas from overseas
Never been there, but . . . I would remove all dead material from the pseudostem. Maybe prune them back a little in length to verify that they is viable tissue in the stem, and to allow new growth to emerge. Plant them in a loose/well draining mix, water well, and then back off water for a while. If you can get them into a greenhouse or other sunny space that is approx. 90F temp wise, that should stimulate growth. After a couple weeks, assuming there is new growth emerging, I would start adding some 1/2 strength Miracle-Gro once a week, along with watering. Biggest thing is to be patient, patient, patient and not over think this. Let the plant work things out. Don't pot, un-pot, re-pot, fret, un-pot, re-pot, stress out, over-fertilize, over-water.
