Ensete Maurelii propagation experiment.

I've seen a few videos on maurelii propagation, so I thought I would give it a go on a rather rough looking little plant. Not the end of the world if it doesn't work, but I could end up with a few more nice plants if all goes to plan.

The specimen before I take a knife to it.

It's amazing how much water these plants hold in the stem.

I've seen good results with cutting a deep V down into the corm, others have cut the corm into quarters. I'm going with the V cut.

Hopefully I have cut deep enough into the corm, time will tell. This picture shows the fresh cut. Three days later it's still looking fresh, no sign of going brown.

Now it's a waiting game.......
