I’ve had quite a few weird experiences with banana plants lately. First one was when I went over to look at my mekong giant. I wanted to see if it was starting to grow again from being covered over for winter. I noticed that some animal had dug up the ground where the plant was. The really weird part is the corm is gone! Do animals eat corms? Another weird one was my poor little Florida Variegated had died back to the soil line again. Only this time it didn’t grow back. The odd part is that what looked like grass came up out of the hole where the pseudo stem was suppose to be. Before I knew it I tons of the stuff growing in the pot. Has that ever happened to anyone before? Pretty crazy!
