Re: Stems Breaking
Yeah, some varieties are more prone to this than others. It's typically not an issue of a nutrient deficiency, just too much weight for the pseudostem to bear adequately. As D&T said, you should try supporting the bunch at the top of the pseudostem. I've seen people construct things with two pieces of PVC pipe with a connecting section to tie around the stem. Hopefully someone will post more ideas/pictures here.
