Today, I separated my first (and second) pups from my Brazilian banana before the next one flowers. The first one, I cut about 3/4 through the corm and got only a couple small roots on the corm, which was hanging from the rest of the pup. I doubt it's gonna make it but I cut it down to a foot tall and potted it, anyway. Will the corm regrow to the stem? Here is a pic of the other. It was on the pup that should flower soon, and I did not really want to take it. I learned those things are very difficult to separate!
