I've had my ensete maurelii over-wintering in the attic for about 1-2 months now, and I finally saw that they were starting to get rot and mold on the corm so to try and save it, I went ahead and powdered them with fungicide after pealing off some of the rotting leaves hoping it can save them.

If their condition continues to worsen, one of my options would be to go ahead and plant it, activating its growth early which I don't want to do until March.
