Need help saving sad pup
Hey there! Happy to have found this forum! I have a lot of experience with tropicals, but have only recently have fallen in love with bananas. Please excuse my cluelessness.
 This poor little guy arrived in the mail soaking wet and with multiple rotting spots. I gently cut away the rot, gave it a rinse with a bit of dawn and let it sit overnight to dry out, this is what it looks like now. I live in CO and have a Maurelli and dwarf that have been container grown indoors and are doing very well! I hoped to do the same with this one. What steps do you recommend I take from here to save this pup, if it can be saved?Thank you!! |

Re: Need help saving sad pup
Thats a pretty small corm for that size of plant. it's gonna have a chance of dying no matter what you do.....
i'd almost go extreme and cut off the Pstem and just plant the corm in some well draining media to promote a good root growth instead of wasting energy on the pstem/leaf growth. Thats a pretty sad looking pup, i wouldn't be happy with that if you paid a pretty penny for it.

Re: Need help saving sad pup
I had a similar issue once. Though it may sound like a stupid idea, I took a potato peeler to the corm. Just took off a small layer, then let it dry for a day and that seemed to work.
