Sorry for the miserable greeting. Bit uncalled for.
I have had some challenges for some reason with Rhino Horn Corms. They rot or are eaten away easily. Not sure what is going on down there. I found not planting them in the organic layer makes a big difference. They don't seem to thrive in the organic layer like most all my other banana plants. I plant them in the base soil and only mulch over that. I also found adding limestone base that they sell here to the organic layer made a huge difference. I can't tell you what is going on with you but that is what worked for me.
