Hello
One of my friends gave me some banana sapling which was kept in green house
I keep them in my room. Their leaves color has changed. Base on pictures needs your diagnosis

First some brown line appears on tips and turning to yellow while it moves inward then becomes black and totally leaves color has changed from dark green to light green
Suspicious about these:
Too much watering
Low watering
moisture
Low lighting
Ambient temperature (its beside window)
All your comments welcomed
Thanks all

To me it just looks like old leaves getting ready for new leafs to follow.
but I will add, that the last 4 pictures the soil looks really wet.

about watering
my friend prescribed to irrigate every other days and keep soil full wet
was he wrong?

its question for me that how much water is needed for this sapling (which is in small disposable glass) amount and days? can we have approximate formula for now and future needs?

thanks

It looks like its time to cut off and remove the few old lower leaves as you would for any banana plant. It will keep the plant healthy.
Nice little crop! What type of Banaana are they?

mehrenarsy

cultivar: Dwarf Cavendish
still not sure how much water for how may days is needed
may be its too watering

Narnia

Such young suckers dont need a lot of water. If the leavesare generally strong and healthy like in your photos -I'd keep the soil from being really wet all the time .Once the soil is moist ,not too wet-leave it so the plant can comfortably get the nutrients from the soil-Its only when they get biggger-much bigger and they're in the ground that you need to give them more water.The soil can only hold a certain amount of water. Hope this helps .

thanks Narnia

for this size plant (in disposable glass) if we get table spoon as water measurement approximately
you guess how many spoon for how many days is enough?

Narnia

Not a full table spoon if soil is already wet. If soil is wet wait till you can see it needs a Bit more I'd take a smaller spoon maybe a desert spoon. Experience will help. Keep the soil just wet not saturated

I follow prescription and will inform result
thanks

In a well drained media, in 2.5 L pot, 100 mL/day was best.
