It's just one of those things where you have to be patient. It also depends on how soon it was planted after being split, where it's placed, weather conditions, how much you water, how your soil is and how well you ammend it. It could take two weeks, it could take three months, but you definately wouldn't want to up root it to check for new root growth, at least not for a month or two, but that would be taking a risk. You'll know when it has roots when you start to see the top of the corm have new growth! I received some plants a few weeks ago, they had old roots, but yet 3 out of four plants (all different varieties) started to come back to life within a week or two. Musa are a strange and wonderous family with lots of mystery, but one thing is for sure, they have a will to live and are hard to kill if they're treated right.
