Default Re: Saba pup

im glad you posted this..
for me there is almost always a problem with small Saba pups after they are transplanted. your plant was choking ,and maybe would have started to rot altogether if you had not intervened.. i think its the root system,if its disturbed too much there will probably be more issues. i think with Saba its necessary to take a lot more roots to minimize complications. maybe remove some top growth to even things out. i know a few other people can identify with what im saying

i have always had problems young getting sabas to establish so if i give someone a pup i would never trim the roots for any reason. i think they definitely need more manipulation to get them going bottom line..

if you ask 5 other people they may talk about small sabas having all roots trimmed off the corm and recover by the end of the week to grow 2 new leaves.
