Dear community,
I received a badly damaged Musa basjoo pup:
Banana Gallery - injured pup - Musa basjoo
It seems to have been separated from the mother plant without a sharp tool, the cut was quite uneven. Also there was an additional cut in the top and the pseudostem smashed a little bit. The tool must've missed a few times :/
I guess I shouldnt look a gift horse in the mouth and I want to make the best of it
The good news is that it seems like there was a new root growing from the cut and there were a few white roots on the bottom too.
I cleaned it thoroughly, removed excess tissue and rubbed the cut and the injuries with grinded charcoal. Then I potted it sideways in coconut coir, leaving the cut on top outside of the growing medium, like proposed in this video:
