Here is the second photo.

That's great!

What other plants do you have in there?

If I had to wager a guess, Id go with lack of light.
Just a guess though, etiolated foliage is wimpy and weak and can't hold it's self up...
Not that your plants look bad at all, they look great.

That window is no doubt uv treated glass, it cuts down the light big time, they look tinted on top of that.

Hi, thanks for the response. I hadn't considered lower light levels. It makes sense, though. Now that we're going into winter, the sun follows a lower path in the sky and I've noticed much less sunlight in my office as compared to the summer months. Also, the leaves seem, in some cases, to be fading a bit, which, I understand, is also a symptom of low light.

Aside from the ensete glaucum and ventricosum, I have jacaranda mimosifolia, strelitzia nicolai, trachycarpus fortunei, delonix regia, and tamarindus indica.

Hoping to get them through the winter. They'll be going through the roof next season if they survive!

I grow my Ensete out side in 15 gallon pots. It is very dry here in the summer with almost no humidity. MIne always seems fine with a good leaf wetting while watering once a week, so your misting should be fine. Not much to add just wanted to day i appreciate your pics. Doing great!
