Growing Instructions & Tips: |
| Using well draining soil mixture plant the rhizome with its pseudostem pointing upright and cover the rhizome with 1 1/2" of the soil mix. Keep warm and always lightly moist. Do not keep wet. Frequently the pseudostem will dry up or rot away - - it is normal since most of the growth will come from the rhizome that is under the soil. | ||
