A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Gardener's Chat banana tree

Please could someone help me out. I was given a banana tree as a gift and it was looking beautiful.I think i over-watered it,now all the leaves are brown and dying and it looks ready for the bin.The only bright spot in this sorry tale is a brand new little leaf at the base of the stem. What can i do?

i need to know if this is a house plant, outdoor potted plant, or yard plant. then i can move the topic to the best place to get you the best help!

that said, if you have a new leaf, you are on the right track somehow!

HELLO JIFFYMOUSE, THE ITEM IN QUESTION IS A HOUSEPLANT

You can cut away all but the new baby and get yourself a new banana tree in a short period of time. Bananas act like annuals; they flower, fruit and die. A new plant starts from the base. If you plant died from any other reason you still have the baby there.

Here is one of mine I started as a little one
but i would cut bk on it to new leaft and let it dry out it don't need alot of water it is tropical like plant
