Hello Nicole thanks for your response I live in New Jersey And this winter doesn’t want to leave we are in April and the weather is still in the 40 the only day that it was nice was last Friday I have them in my dining room table we’re the sun hits a few hours a day but I am confused because I don’t know if I put to much fertilizer on it or it needs more I only add water when the moisture meter is between moist and dry so it around every two days I hope I did not hurt the roots when I check the moisture on the soil with the two sticks that are in the middle of the meter almost all the leaves including the new ones cumin out the tips are brown I don’t know what to do can you tell me if you can how to measure how much fertilizer to add on a 6” pot once the weather gets nice I will plant on the ground I got two musa rajoo and one tiny tiny and buy the water your banana tree are looking great can you tell me what fertilizer number are you using I am used 5-5-5 thanks again for all your help

Pulled these off my Carding Mill today: Here’s the plant, with the affected leaves pulled off: Thanks!

One of the various fungal agents collectively known as maple anthracnose. It is generally not a serious issue, more cosmetic than actually harmful......and it can fluctuate from year to year with weather conditions. And once you see visible signs of the problem, it is too late to treat anyway. But it is best to rake up and destroy or fully compost all the leaves in fall. Don't just use them as is as a mulch as the fungal spores can winter over.

Yes and no. First the excess nitrogen needs to be removed and this may sound strange to you but you should feed the microbes sawdust, ground up twigs or cardboard. Feeding the microbes a diet low in nitrogen and high in carbon will force the microbes to consume excess nitrogen in the soil to live. The microbes main diet is carbon and nitrogen at a ratio of 24 parts carbon to 1 part nitrogen and the items I mentioned have a ratio of 378 parts carbon to 1 part nitrogen for cardboard and up to 500 to 1 for twigs and sawdust. They eat the carbon and turn to the excess nitrogen in the soil to eat, problem fixed. So get about a 1/2 cup of ground up cardboard, twigs or sawdust and mix into the soil. (you figure out how to grind them up) After a couple of weeks it's time to start feeding the plants again but only with the fish stuff DON'T use the Trifecta! It was a one time application only. Fish emulsion has a 5-1-1 nutrient ratio and right now your plant needs MORE potassium than nitrogen the fish stuff doesn't have, so 1/2 of a dried banana peel will do every two weeks. Fish emulsion has 3 to 5 parts carbon to 1 part nitrogen so when consumed by the microbes they leave a lot of nitrogen for the plant to use. Adding any other source of nitrogen will be too much. But if you really want to make the plant healthy and happy get some alfalfa meal, it's rich in everything a tomato plants needs that the fish stuff doesn't. Cut the fish stuff in half and cut the alfalfa meal recommendations in half and you will never have a nutrient problem suffered by many who use pots to grow in. The plant that has already grown will never produce a flower or tomato and flowers will only appear on new growth so don't worry, and cutting off the bottom leaves didn't hurt it a bit. To be honest I never read your original post so I didn't know you mentioned no flowers, All I looked at was the picture.
