I have small bugs in my soil too. I do the soap spray and also use sticky bug traps. I lay them flat on top of the soil and that usually catches enough bugs to keep things under control until I can get the plants back outside.

What a relief to hear about the "white mass" being sufficient! Lol! Now I get it! Hehe.. That word "corm" just completely throws me all off for some reason.. Your description set me at ease though so thanks a bunch!
Love the idea of using sticky paper to catch these little suckers too! I've got a bunch of that laying around my garage for sure
Thank you all so much for walking me through this "surgery" lol & reassuring me through the process. I've definitely learned a lot by doing this separation
and best part is my one banana plant became 3!!! Sweet deal
