Where is it now? Are there any white roots or anything there? Is the corm hard or mushy? I have 4 and have done a lot of research & I believe these guys are hardier than people claim. Put it in the ground! Rot occurs quicker in a pot, I think you will be surprised in about a month. Also I have a brazillian that did not fair well over the winter indoors, I accidentally cut the stalk thinking it was dead not realizing there was a new leaf in there, A few weeks past and the stalk died and my 4 year old broke it off I just pulled it out of the pot and there are 2 pups showing growth. I stuck it in the ground and am anxiously hoping!

Yeh ensete maurelli has white roots under and is not mushy or rotten just stem i cut it its also in garden not pot i hope a leaf grows thanks for help
