Hi, I receive my veinte cohol from Thailand a week ago.

Since i poted him, he only dry a bit more every day.

I have taken a look to the roots. Some were rotten, some are doing secondary roots. So it means that he starts rooting.

Today i have removed some layers of the stem to expose green tissues to the sun light.

What do you think of that ?

Is there any tip to help him start ?

If I was you I would not put it in direct sun light for long.
it will burn it up, I would gradually put in the sun for maybe a hour a day till it gets use to it, then full steam ahead is fine. If it has been in the sun all along then discard what I said. Good luck to you I hope it does well for you...

It has been expose to full sun since i have it, but the résult is the first picture.

I will do what you say for a week or two, to preserve the healthy tissues from drying.

Good to know you're not impatient.

In the Tropics, after moving a VC a couple feet, it could take 7-10 days to start to push.

Not sure how shipping it halfway around the world would help.

Those leaf sheaths that you removed were actually helping to support the pseudostem.

There is one very easy way to get it to start: Give it time. :)
It works miracles with bananas. Some need more (up to two months), some less.

Yours looks healthy enough, to pop some new growth any day now. :)

I would go with Kubali, though: Keep it in the shade until new growth is well under
way. Just consider, that most wild bananas live in jungles, usually with only mottled
light.

Good Luck!
