white powdery waxy stuff on pseudostem
does anyone have a problem with white powdery waxy stuff on the pseudostem of their banana plant?
Is this normal? Or should I spray it down with dish soap/water mixture? thanks, Dean |

Re: white powdery waxy stuff on pseudostem
It's normal. The amount varies among varieties and with age. Don't worry.
