Is he going through his teenage emo phase? #DwarfBanana
He is my first banana plant.
From yesterday to today his leaves are significantly dropping down. The soil is moist (watered recently) and he is in a south-facing window.
Also noticed some yellow in the baby leaves. Is he being dramatic from being moved around (we moved to a new house and got him as a gift) or is there something wrong?
Please help ❤️ #NewPlantMom

We had a large banana in our yard in California and during the rainy season it lost all its bottom leafs from so much water… don’t know how much help that is 🤷🏻♀️ #Banana #DwarfBanana
Hi Teresa! I have 2 Cavendish bananas and I have them on my back patio where they get a couple of hours of morning sun, the rest of the day they’re in shade. These guys drink a LOT! I am watering every day as it’s 100+ degrees. Not sure about your climate in Holland, be careful if full sun. Without the heat, every 2-3 days., watering enough so water flows out the bottom. Looking at a pic, the soil looks dry. These bananas like rich, well draining soil (think succulent/cactus soil mixed with perlite, coco coir, and lots of compost). They like moist soil but they don’t do well sitting in wet soil. One last thing is you can cut the stem (“trunk”) halfway, and let the plant recover. It will grow back! I cut mine each wintering time (it’s still young) and it comes back bigger and stronger every time. Here’s mine right now. I cut the bottom leaf when it looks sad to help promote growth.
