These blotches on this small Ravenala madagascariensis have appeared and spread over the past couple of months:
Is this a disease or a systemic problem? I am a little concerned the pot might not have enough drainage (it's a ceramic one with a single hole in the bottom), despite adding a good deal of perlite to the mix when I potted it up. I can feel what seems to be a healthy, firm root poking out of the hole.
Should I remove it from the pot and check the roots?
Any advice or diagnosis of the problem here would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
