Re: Choke more info
Choking usually refers to a condition where the flower stem does not exit the pseudostem correctly. I might stall in the throat (top) of the pseudostem, or might break out the side of the pseudostem.
A similar thing can also happen when a leaf doesn't emerge properly, and the subsequent leaves will split the pseudostem and begin developing a new pseudostem through the split. Some varieties, notably Raja Puri, are more susceptible to the problem, but in most cases it is caused by some form of stress: a rapid weather change, change in watering, fertilizer, etc., or some physical damage to the pseudostem. In many cases you might not be able to identify why a particular plant choked. The symptoms lag behind the cause , often by a week or two, so you have to know the history of the plant and weather, etc. to attempt to identify the cause. Once the stress happens, you cannot prevent the resulting choking.

Re: Choke more info
Here is a page from Pitangadiego in the Banana wiki.
Excellent photo of a stuck flower Choking Here are photos of a stuck leaf in a pstem. If I have a leaf choke I will cut an inch or two below the obstruction and the plant sorts itself out in a few months. I do not get flower chokes because my plants do not predictably flower. For me I can tell when a plant stops pushing leaves and the pstem starts to swell in an abnormal fashion. |
