Re: i need help with musa basjoo
Yes cut it below the bend, and for best results after your last frost plant it in the ground until fall....Good Luck. If you thirst for more info use the search option at the top right and type in Basjoo or any other topic you like.

Re: i need help with musa basjoo
Well, you could try to prop it, but then again, the likelihood that it'll grow enough to strengthen up and not need the propping is not very likely. I'd do as others have said...cut it just below the bend. I know it's hard to do such a thing to a nice plant, but it won't hurt it and it's very early in the growing season, so it won't set it back much at all.

Re: i need help with musa basjoo
I'd do just like the previous said.. It works (definately sucks), and is highly effective (One step back all the rest forward ) :^)

Re: i need help with musa basjoo
Well, if the bend in the stem has resolved, definitely just let it do its thing.
