Musa Basjoo pups getting sick??
I have seperated 3 pups from a 7ft tall potted Musa basjoo. I've gotten them with good strong roots, and potted them beside 'mom'. It looks like they have something. I am seeing brown edged leaves, even the top new ones. Does anyone know what it is?

Re: Welcome to the forums!
Brand new to this site, and am a little overwhelmed. I am an extreme gardner, both on my property and on my deck. Many of my plants on the deck are over 15ft tall. Yeah-lots of soil and big big pots! I am into Mandevilla, Bower vines, bannanas, thunbergia, elephant ears and more.
