After successfully germinating various species of banana seeds, I've learned to recognize the dreaded fungal collapse. Typically, I've made little attempt to rescue the seedlings. I just watch them disappear over a week or two.

This time, I fought back. The day I noticed the languishing onset of collapse, I drenched the suckers in Captan 50. The collapse has halted.

The question is: Now what? Do I keep these suckers on the dry side. Treat again in two weeks? Water once a week. I have these in a heated greenhouse. The Burmese Blue is about a foot tall. The Helen's Hybrids are about 8" tall.

What say thee?
