Default Re: Pisang Ambon, Pisang Raja update

Hi everyone, many thanks for your support & replies!

@ Jack,
The black part is growing, for sure That's why I cut off the other "leave parts" (so I could look what was inside).


@BOB,
Not sure about the roots, but when I put it in this pot, the "old"root showed tiny white branches. I think by now (1.5 month later) it should have developed mor roots.

If I cut it off, wouldn't it just get brown and rot more and more? (am just affraid that the same process will happen again). When I cut it, do I only have to keep it dry or do I also need some fungicide?

I know I know, but I'm not tired yet LOL


@Mushtaq86

It's in a 19 Litre/5 Gallon/40 Pint pot. I used special, well draining soil (best available) It's very light, and when you push on it it kinda bounces back. I also added perlite (maybe not as much, as you couldn't trace it )
The part of the corm under the soil is quite large D=15cm/6inches.
