I have an Ensente Maurelii that has gotten a major aphid infestation and showing signs of rot near the crown. I've seen two ways of propagating this banana on this site, first is cutting at the soil line and slicing a "v" shape. Second is actually slicing up the corm into several peices and then planting.

I'm wondering which is better? Will either work? Will there be an issue with the aphids after cutting up the ensente? What are the steps after doing either of these? Do you just let it be, do you water it?

Any help would be great.

Thanks!
