Re: waxy pseudostem
Sword-sucker = a "good sucker", as opposed to "Water-sucker". A Sword-sucker usually has narrow and skinny leaves, almost no leaves at first. A water or "Umbrella sucker" has very wide leaves and are said to be useless for planting because of lack of vigour. So beware when buying on e-bay!
