Default Re: Musa laterita

My laterita that I divided and sold pups and corms of has already bloomed for me! That's only like 3 weeks ago that I divided it! Some of you won't like this, but it bloomed really low (like 1' tall), and it wasn't the main stem, so I cut the bloom off even with the soil line so that the main plant can go ahead and put it's energy into roots, new growth, and new pups. I know how easily this banana flowers so I didn't really hesitate to cut it off. I know it will bloom again in a few weeks. In hindsight, I wish I'd taken a pic of it to share with everyone here before I cut it. Oh well. Hopefully all of you who got pups or corms from me will be rewarded with blooms later this summer as well!
