Bananas Brindando Re: How to: Musa corms?

I have the same situation you have. Do not overwater or the corm will rot. Leave outdoors in a shady area and the suns warmth will do it's thing. My plant looked the same for 3 months and being curious I slowly cleared away the soil looking for rot or signs of life and low and behold there was a beautiful white root. By the way I don't suggest doing this, but I just had to know. Now my question to anybody is do I cut off the dried tip of the pseudostem to allow the emerging leaf to grow or just leave it? Will a new leaf be able to grow past what looks to me to be the plants way of drying out?
