Default Re: Finally Raja blooming but..........

Most folks including the OP know how to remove pups. It's fairly obvious and no experience is necessary. First timers can usually do it as well as anyone else.

This was about 3 weeks ago. One week after removing pups, the mama plant caught me off guard and threw her flower bloom lol. While they were attached to the mother plant they were all about the same size and I saw very little growth, and no leaves had unrolled for a few weeks before I cut them apart. Now they are unrolling there second leaves since removal and one has not pushed a leaf, but has a pup growing. Pup was probably budding on corm before I removed I am guessing. MOther is doing good. FLower and nanners are doing good. Glad to see someone else is going through something similar.
