I have read articles that have said that this only works with Ensete ventricosum. E. glaucum and E. superbum have been attempted and failed. If I get enough sprouts on my E. gilletii, I plan on trying with it when one gets some size to it. It is supposedly very closely related to E. ventricosum.

I did try this on two bareroot, dormant corms of E. ventricosum this year. One eventually rotted, and the other was just dug up last week from its pot with lots of white roots. It tried to put up some pups, but they would only get a few millimeters high and then croak. I will try it on some actively growing plants with roots next time.
