I think I have a Rojo banana. It's only a couple feet tall. I keep it indoors under a florescent light with some palms. It gets some natural filtered light as well. I am good about transplanting, watering and feeding my plants. This banana was very happy for about a year. It recently put out 3 pups after being transplanted. The primary stalk stopped growing right. The leaves are crowded too close to each other. It seems to be making an effort to grow and just packing itself tighter with unopened leaves. The pups seem crowded too. I had some mealybugs on a plant in a different part of the house. I see no mealybugs on my banana, though I can't see what's going on inside the leaf spirals. Does anyone know if that's how a mealy bug problem might present itself on a banana? I'm thinking of peeling off leaves to see if I can find the source of the structural problem or uncover some undamaged leaves to help it get "unstuck". Does that sound like a bad idea; I don't know how sensitive they are to that kind of handling?
