Default Re: browning leaves in winter

Hey there Justin, sounds like you got the banana bug too! Expect some leaf browning as the phytoperiod is reduced in winter months. The plants are adjusting. As long as you have room for them in the house this winter, keep doing what you have been doing. Watch for mites and such, perhaps stop fertilizing and reduce the watering schedule. You will be that much farther ahead this spring when you put them outside. Cutting off the lower leaves that have browned is ok. Check them for spider mites.
Welcome to bananas!!!
