I bought a hardy banana tree a while back. Supposed to be winter proof down to -20 deg.
I kept it inside for a year or so to avoid winter dormacy, and let it grow a little extra.
Come spring, there were all these little (I mean TINY -sand grain size) tan bugs all over the leaves. I bought some plant bug killer spray, and it worked. Then about a month later, it slowly started to brown and slow down growing. Eventually it died altogether.
I tried everything, transplanting to a bigger pot, different soils, soil aerator, more water- less, more sun- less. I even planted it outside thinking the humidity might be the prob. nothing worked. Even the plant lady at the local nursery was baffled.
