Default Re: anxiety about the mother stem of Raja Puri

If you cut off about 1 or 2 cm off the mother-stem, is the centre part black? You should then cut down until you see a white central part. Rot tends to spread in fluctuating warm-cold temperatures. You should really get rid of all rotten material. (Musa Basjoo is an exception, since it seems to cope with rot and fluctuating temperatures in spring more easily.)
