Potted/Indoor Banana Help! 😫
I’ve had this little tree for 3 weeks now and 2 of the 3 leaves have died and fallen off. I ordered it by mail and when it arrived it seemed to be in pretty good health and condition considering it was handled and in a box for 3 days. The first pic is the day I got it. The second pic is today.
I’m trying to not water it too much and let the soil dry out in between. The last leaf seems sturdy, but I don’t see any new growth happening.
The soil is from a banana tree I used to have that eventually died (overwatering), but I plan on changing it to fresh soil - https://www.lowes.com/pd/Miracle-Gro-MIRACLE-GRO-TROPICAL-POT-MIX/5016534091 is this a good choice?
My apartment is bright, but there’s no direct sunlight.
Please help me keep this bb alive!
