Oh Rootdoctor, I have failed you. Will you ever forgive me... ;-)

I dunno what's gotten into this poor old banana. It's the same one thats the pictured and talked about above.

Over the summer, it did manage to put out another 3-4 leaves, but that's it. It never really grew much, and it always looked wet. If I watered it, it was very rarely and not much. I remember Root saying to me not to keep it wet, or at least I remember that. Some times I remember the wrong things lately.

Anyway, it's been in my covered deck/GH, it has not had any frost, the temps out there have always been above freezing, because it looks moist, it may get a small drink once a month.

The leaves were getting brown and curling on the tips, with a few splotches of yellow in the body of the leaf. Now it looked likes it's rotting from the middle.

Is there any hope?

Should I cut it off at dirt level and repot it?

Should it become compost?

Any ideas.

Here's the sad thing:
