@ExactDyebush48 A string of bananas succulent usually wilts or shrivels because of improper watering, root rot, or lack of sunlight. Overwatering & Root Rot: Too much water or soil that holds moisture causes mushy, black roots. Damaged roots cannot drink water, which makes the plant look surprisingly dry and wilted.Underwatering: While they are drought-tolerant, going too long without water makes the banana-shaped leaves pucker, shrivel, and lose their plump shape.Insufficient Light (Etiolation): If the top of the plant or the soil surface sits in deep shade, the stems can weaken and die back. They need bright, indirect light hitting the entire plant, including the top.Temperature Stress: Sudden cold drafts or extreme heat can shock the plant and cause the stems to limp or drop.
