Zitheran Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I am new to plants and would like to know some good resources for identifying deficiencies. I think that this one in particular is a magnesium deficiency. I have started to dose weekly with Easy Green. Should I snip these leaves off at the base?

Daniel Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 There is not a lot of magnesium in the water banana plants are native to so I suspect it is not a magnesium deficiency. Recently there was a thread here with a good illustration of nutrient deficiencies in plants. Maybe some know where that is? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aubrey Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) It could be damage. I know when I got a banana plant a few weeks ago that two of the three leaves had been damaged in shipping and plants usually don't heal like animals do. They often put resources into growing a new leaf instead of any kind of repair. So as long as it still has other leaves you should be fine trimming the damaged one.
