Alright so heres the story, 1 of my 2 banana plants (Dwarf Cavendish) is rotting on the main stem. It has put up 2 babies this past week and the leaf it was growing has stopped growing. What I am wondering is what should i do? Should i cut off the main stem? I have stopped watering it since i noticed the little squishy discolored area on the stem. Also it is potted and inside the house as it gets too cold for a tropical plant outside in NY @ least I think. Ive taken it outside for today (high 89) and will be taking it back in because its going to rain. Also if it does die, does anyone know StarkBros gurantee, is it any more than a year or just a year(these were ordered in Spring 2004)? We have always ordered our fruit trees from them (@ least mother has), this past year is the only year that i think we have had issues with plants dieing (Both of the 2 Meyer lemons i ordered died). We didn't get our $ back on those because they were part of a package deal, and we dont really need lemons.
Thank You Much
