Growing banana from dormant
Posted: Tue Apr 02, 2019 6:04 pm
Hi all,
I bought a few banana corms and am trying to wake them up.
I’ve planted them in a free draining mix (although it’s holding moisture more than I thought it would) and most are not showing any action after 1 week.
They are in a south facing window of my home which is at a constant temperature of 20c. One is sprouting but one is showing some mould. The one with mould is musa laterita. I’ve put some dry potting mix around the base of the trunk now and removed the outer layers. I’ve attached a photo - is it done for? Any advice appreciated
