Re: The Slow Black Death
Question on the black death. I lost two small purchased bananas a while back and it had to be from rot. I took the corms out of the pot...saw that there was white roots. Removed the rotten roots that I could find, soaked these in a neem oil solution (as an antifungal) and put them in smaller pots.
One corm had a eye when I first bought it. On the tip began the black...so when I cut the black off....the tips gets black again. Is that ok or does that automatically mean death. I mean it is possible that a banana corm over come some mild blackness if it's not too bad. It's just if I keep cutting, I will start cutting the corm.
I am just letting them relax in the new pots...not sure how much to water. I would love to not water them but they're on Phoenix, AZ balcony with shade and dappled sunlight occasionally.
