Musa Basjo Pups?
My Musa's have several pups each. I tried cutting one off to grow it and here is what I found. The baby was attached to the main stem. No roots or anything. I planted it and it's just dying. How do I separate them?
Do not give up on the dying pup yet. If you got enough of the mothers corm it should develop roots. In the interim the pup will turn black above the surface and look dead.
Have patience. It may develop roots and send out a shoot after 4 or 5 weeks.
I got 2 raja puri pups. One had some of the mothers roots and has started to put out a leaf after 5 weeks despite a 2 week period with cool temps and little sun. The other had 1 root strand and some of the corm. It hasn't started to put out a leaf yet, but I haven't given up.

You don't have to be crazy to grow palms in Alberta..... But it helps
