That movement won't last long. A small section in the center may rise to 1/2 inch, but then
stop. But given some time, there will be 1 or 2 pups emerging, which will then take possession
of the corm.
Good luck,
Olaf

Believe it or not this corm will grow from center, I've seen more than once. Could be the difference in weather. If this corm was going to just pup the center don't rise.. I've seen it both ways many times, and I'm one for one w/ this type so far, and most recently so pretty sure we shall see continued progress.. :^)

You know once you find something that works, you stick w/ it.. Growing stumps is like going fishing when fish ain't biting.. Takes a lot of patience.. :^)

Nice comeback! Off topic, but I see you are in 8b... How does your dragon fruit do there?

They grow well in the spring, summer & Fall, but winter they have to come in.. Next year they should be big enough to do something.. So we'll see.. :^)

Ahh... Okay. Well, I have one in the ground for the last couple of years but the winters have been mild. I am wondering if I should try my other varieties in the spring or just pot them. Anyway, thank you for your input and good luck with your rebirth!

I've enjoyed following the story but am confused. Was that a P-stem that rotted and got cut back? Or one that bloomed and rose again? Is there a link to the history? I ask because I cut off a pup that was wounded and soft; made my cut about 1" above the soil. (She had sprouted another pup that's doing fine.)

PKWhat is a PK? Can't search here--1 letter 2 short. Web searches using "PK banana" result in information about Pakistan. Take pity on this clueless noob, please, sir, what is a PK?

I took a chance and cut off a Goldfinger pup that was not growing; apparently I did the right thing.

As for the Dwarf Namwah that sent out a 2nd pup--she's doing fine but I think I might have saved both if I'd gathered my courage and whacked off the larger one earlier.

One of these days I'll get brave enough to cut a pup or 2 from the Dwarf Cavendish.

My stump is still small but she's doing very well. I'd have never saved that Goldfinger if I hadn't cut her off. Thanks for "suggesting" I do so.
