Re: Old corms
Olaf, a banana living outdoors during winter in Southern California will barely grow. The temperatures are too low for these tropical plants. Under those conditions, and especially if the soil is wet (e.g., from our winter rains), the roots and corm are at great risk of rotting. Trust me, it happened to some of my bananas last winter. In the tropics, or in simulated tropical conditions in your house, where the bananas are always actively growing, too much water, pot size, drainage, are much less of an issue.
