Default Re: Broke my banana when planting

agreed, just cut it right below where it snapped. if you leave it, its possible the new leaves can grow thru it and superficially heal the wound, but often I find that what happens instead is that the new leaves get stuck behind the dead bit and will eventually bust thru, but you waste time it could have been having those same leaves exposed to the sun if you just cut it.
