Re: AeAe corm question
Clare, if the "corm" you are talking about is a piece of the old mother plant corm, attached to the new plants healthy corm (however small) then there is nothing to worry about. Old mother plant corm is only there as a food reserve for the pup. It will give up its food reserves to the new plant and wither away. On the other hand, if the actual base of your new plant is rotting, you have a problem. You say there is still roots and that is good. Banana starts like to be only SLIGHTLY moist. That means if Toilet paper can be saturated on any part of the surronding soil then you are keeping the start too wet. Follow previous advise to cure rot but do not let healthy roots dry out at all.
