The mother plant was a normal looking plant. Nothing changed. The picture below is of the stalk. Before anyone says anything -- I removed the net! I had humming birds go to town on the flower. I removed it and a few more bananas emerged. My stalk today looks the same. Same color of fruit, same size and same hardness.


This is a picture of the mat. Other than it being not a great picture the plants were very healthy. That has since changed. 7 of the plants have fallen over after the leaves have turned yellow. I thought it was gophers but can't find any. I'm down to a few plants in that mat. It really sucks. I'm thinking of removing all the plants potting them and then wait to see what happens.
