Default Re: Can I cut the pseudostem?

I've discovered plant lice inside the cigar leaf. I used a solution of soap and spiritus to kill them. I know a capsaicin solution is better for the plant, but I couldn't get my hand on peppers yet since the shops in my area are closed.

I've also decided to put a few lights right on top of the green parts of the leaves, hoping that will at least give some photosynthesis capabilities after dark. They're pure white and warm white LED's. According to a quick google search, they should produce a spectrum of light that contains the right wavlengths for photosynthesis.

I really hope my banana can pull through!
