dying fruiting stem
so I've had this happen twice now. I have several truly tiny bananas. All are looking healthy, nice green foliage, no spots, no streaks, no insects (haven't even seen spider mites all summer). The first one shot up a flower spike the end of july. i could see the first tiny bananas about 2 weeks later, and then it stalled (it looked like it was sticking in the opening), developed mold and died off. i cut the stalk down. The second equally healthy looking plant popped out a flower spike a month later, and same thing happened. What the heck?? Anyone know what's going on?

Re: dying fruiting stem
So you’re saying it took two weeks to see bananas after the seeing the flag? Weird it’s been a very long time since I’ve grown bananas so I’m rusty but I’ve never had that happen. After the flag shows maybe 1-2 days it goes fast and you see female/bananas immediately sometimes you’ll see 2-3 hands in a single day. But it’s taking two weeks just for one hand?

Re: dying fruiting stem
yes...it's like the stem was stuck in the birth canal or something.

Re: dying fruiting stem
the plant looks green and healthy up to that point. No obvious signs of disease, no rot, no odd spots...
