no, what cinncinnana said.

you know you can throw it on top of the soil and it will grow? something about aeriation. but you will not force it to grow, when it is time it will go. have patience.

here is a pisang raja i have been growing in aquarium rock no soil. i just water it from time to time. aeriation. most of the time there is no water in the pan, this picture was taken after watering with compost tea..
