Is My Basjoo Dying?

9 years ago

So I purchased two Bananas from my local lowes, believing it were Basjoos (label just said musa). I planted one in the usual way and one a foot under ground to see if it would survive the winter with no protection. Even though their leaves were a bit beat up from lowes they looked pretty good. The one planted normally seems to be doing ok but the one which is a foot deep seems to be having trouble with the leaves holding up. They basically started to droop straight down to the ground. Did I plant this too deep and its dying/rotting away? I am fairly sure I planted it a foot deep from top of the dirt how it was planted in the container so the rootball might be a few inches lower. Should I leave it or try to dig it up and plant a bit shallower? Has anyone had any experience planting these deeper?
