Default Cutting the folwer...
Hi everyone,

I know that banana plant dies after blooming, but what will happen if i cut off the flower when it is starting to come out? Did the plant already dies or continue to grow/vegetate??

Thanks,



Valentino K.

Just making sure you know (which you probably do). The plant doesn't die just the psuedo stem. The corm (bulb underneath) will send up more greenery. Usually several pups but at least one. It will grow faster than the first one did usually.

This is only true for Musa.. We have no idea the type of banana that is being grown.

It dies in any case as the inflorescence is terminal. The plant stem elongates,grows through the center of the pseudostem and forms the inflorescence. So cutting the inflorescence is cutting the stem and the growing point. Then it can only grow through the pups.
