Shriveling string of bananas
Hi all, I was gifted this string of bananas about two months ago and she has mostly been thriving. Lots of new growth and plump leaves. She’s potted in a succulent/LECA mix in a glazed ceramic, however I will admit there are no drainage holes. I have found the soil type dries out easily however and I occasionally bring her outside for an hour or two (30° C) to help it dry out. I noticed some of her leaves were shriveled up the other day and I hadn’t given her a drink in a bit, so I checked the soil and gave her a nice watering. However, the issue hasn’t been resolved.
I did recently have to move her from my north-facing window with a grow light into a more dimly-lit room with a south facing window (quarantining during thrips treatment). Thinking that might be an issue?
My guesses are so far either 1) lack of light, 2) thrips 3) lack of drainage—but truthfully I’ve been monitoring that closely.
Help! What do yall think?
Damage.

@Froggo_118 that actually makes sense. I think she went a little too long without water. And yeah, I’m thinking about putting her in a nursery pot instead. Thanks!!
