Super Dwarf Banana Center Tip Brown: Wait, Humidity, Don't Repot Yet

Mail-order super dwarf banana, 3–4″, 5 leaves, center tip brown ⅔ up. Piece broke but rest solid. No roots visible at pot bottom. Repot now?

Wait One Week

• Keep in original pot. Damp, not wet.
• Clear bag over top = humidity tent.
• 6 hrs direct sun (window).
• Watch brown tip—may green up as it pushes.

After Week

• Nights >50°F → harden off outside gradually.
• Then upsize to clay pot with rich mix + drainage layer.
• Monthly soluble feed + bi-monthly high-K granular.
• Mist leaves for humidity.

Corm Reality

Banana root = corm (swollen rhizome). Fills pots fast. Upsize frequently summer. Don't let bind.
