Re: Rot on stem
How wet is the potting soil? ... What is the size of of the pstem (diameter?)? Is there any green leaves still showing?
The black rot is down to the soil. But also, the pstem is no longer green but yellowish. These details, without other info, seems to indicate root rot has set in and the pstem is dying or is dead. ... For young banana plants this will be hard to stop or cure. The only way to know is to dig out the corm; clean & trim off any black mushy roots & corm; and cut off the pstem a few inches above the soil line. Then replant into sand with a small amount of water. Then wait until you see any sign of new growth (about 6 to 8 weeks ??). ... just my opinion.
