Re: Small spot of rot near base of plant....HELP
Hi, I know what you're going through! I've been through much, much worse.
1. Make sure to water the naner regularly- irregularity lowers its defenses. 2. Give it lots of sunshine or light. The more light the better, especially in Zone 6. 3. Q-tip the spot with peroxide couple of times. 4. If in a few days it progresses- take a sharp blade and remove the spot. I have several naners with pretty serious surgeries, large and deep cuts and they survived and even kept the most damaged leaf for a very long time! Good luck! Alex. |

You can get wettable dusting sulfur that's about 90% pure elemental sulfur from any good farm supply store cheap. Some rot it kills; some it does not. It will repel some insects but not kill them. Watching the drainage/irrigation and using sulfur has worked for me.
