Dwarf Cavendish growth progress.

Fish Emulsion Fertilizer, Lesson 1:

Re: New Ladyfinger and Ice Cream pups!!
I decided to re-pot the Ladyfinger after over a month of no growth/rotting. Partly because I felt it needed a bigger pot and partly because I wanted to double check its root growth.
Unfortunately,...

Re: New Ladyfinger and Ice Cream pups!!
I already asked MediaHound about the leaves which were bent on arrival so I knew that they would eventually die. But I forgot to ask about the damage to the top part of the stem (it is on the other...

Re: Ladyfinger near death... help!!
The plant was outside for the past week getting some sun. The top isn't rotting, just browning. I re-potted it just now and noticed that some of the roots were rotting so I cut those off and tried to...

It has been almost two weeks since I began trying to save this Dwarf LadyFinger. The good news is that it is still green. The bad news is that it doesn't seem to be doing anything except for brown at...

Re: Ladyfinger near death... help!!
The photo makes the plant look wetter than it was--I had a mix of 50% potting soil and 50% perlite so it drained pretty well (for the last week). The couple weeks before then it was in pure potting...

Re: Ladyfinger near death... help!!
Thanks again for the help!
This is my first attempt at growing a banana tree, hopefully it springs back to life.
Momoese, do you have any recommendations on where I could buy a bigger banana corm?...

Re: Ladyfinger near death... help!!
These is some soft dark rot on the ends of some of the roots. I can't really tell on the corm since it is so small.
(Not sure what a TC plant is, I bought this online from logee's)

Re: Ladyfinger near death... help!!
I've done some research but am not exactly sure what the corm is. Is is the "bulb" part?
Can you describe the digging out of the corm part? I'd rather not do any more damage than is already done.
