Just a note from my personal experience. I germinated a bunch of old seeds of the Musa velutina and only 1 popped up. Then one day after 2 weeks, I notice the plant looked bad. I gave it a tug and it came up rootless! I thought it was gone for sure. Not wanting to throw it away, I stuck it into another small pot of soil. Guess what? Now it is a 2ft pseudostem plant with 1 pup. So what I am trying to say is, you ought to give the leafless plant a shot by keep on watering it. It should bounce back.
