New plant, does it look ok?

Question

I just got this plant over the weekend and the leaves are kinda droopy and one has browned a tiny bit on the tip. Is this normal or is it supposed to be more perky? Tips appreciated! :)

Answer

I’m not great with dwarf banana’s as that is what it looks like but I don’t think it’s supposed to be already dropping like that. When was the last time it was watered? Do you know? You should probably check it and see. x

Answer

Ahhh just realised you said it was last watered 4 days ago which is great, so it shouldn’t need a water but maybe it needs more direct sunlight?

Answer

@Lizzie28 just a few suggestions here! 😁

Answer

These plants LOVE sunlight.  If it's sitting 10 feet away from a northwest window, it isn't getting much light.

I'd find a place closer to the light for your plant.  They love water, so just make sure the soil drains well.

Answer

@buschlitebecs let us know how it grows. (:

Answer

@buschlitebecs just so you know, if dwarf bananas are anything like regular bananas, they can get UGLY in the winter. (:  Today is the first day my plant has been outside since November! But they'll push new leaves right back out once they soak up enough light.
