Default Re: Help! B.I.D. (Banana in Distress)

Not sure if I did the right thing but I cut her down!!!



Started snooping around some of the leaves and stalks and noticed some mushy places that were brown and slimy. Take a look at the center of the stalk (it's turned a little brown from when I cut it down yesterday; the while think was green except the center part)



If you look real close at the center of the stalk, you'll see a dark brown spot. I believe this was going to be a part of the new leaf that was going to emerge. 3 ?s: 1)Did I do the right thing by cutting it down and will this help the plant grow back? 2)What causes this? About a month ago, I had a leaf that wouldn't unfurl and so waited and waited and it didn't do anything. I cut it back a little and apparently, it rotted and died which probly explains the dead center part and 3)What causes the pup's leaves to look the way they do?
