Yeah, I do remember that. Naturally, in that situation, food can go only one way. However, if pups are producing food and mom is not, can it go the other way? I am not proposing one way or the other, just wondering. Some think it's possible. So far, evidence seems to show it doesn't work. On my leafless plant I am making sure that the psuedostem has green parts showing so that the bunch might get fed from the energy produced from the psuedostem itself. They're pretty good size already (had been around 4 months old before winter set in), so I'm just hoping for a little more.
