Help! Need potting advice for blue Java banana tree. #bluejavabananatree #bananatree #bluejava #pottedbananatree #pottedbananaplant feel like I'm doing everything wrong with my banana tree since I got it. It doesn't help that I don't have a green thumb and I'm learning as I go. When I first got my plant, I cut off the brown parts of the stem back to green, but now all of those edges keep weeping and browning or rotting themselves. My leaves are also not doing great though the plant itself is OK. I just took the tree out of the pot that I had moved it in which is a 5 gallon pot and it's not waterlogged like I thought it might be so I'm not sure what the problem is. I do think I compacted the soil a little too much and maybe originally gave it too much water. So now I bought a ton of stuff to try to fix it and have no idea what to mix and the ratios and everything online is overwhelming and confusing. Here's what I have if anybody can tell me what ratio to mix and what to add in that would be wonderful.: coconut coir, pine bark mulch, potting soil, cow manure, perlite, vermiculite, earthworm castings,
