Well, I'm not sure why it doesn't grow any quicker than it is now. I have found a few termites munching on some coleus (took care of them QUICKLY!) in a couple of beds, but do they eat banana roots? My other thought was voles, but wouldn't the plant be dead by now? Anyhow, here's what this pitiful little plant looks like today, after over a month and a half after sprouting from the ground.
I suppose it is growing, but I'm beginning to wonder if I'll get a bloom or not this year. At its current growth rate, probably not!
