==>>> thats not really good enough for us to make any predictions ...

any chance it might just wipe off????

can you post a pic???

Hi Ken,

Here is the photo. I just tried wiping it off after this photo, and it seemed to work. Maybe it was nothing then?
I'm uploading another picture below, showing a bit of green spot, not sure if this is a problem.

Thank you very much

Picture of the green spot

i wouldnt be concerned about what the old stalk does ..

but i cant tell from your pic.. if the shoots are growing right thru it ... or beside it ...

regardless.. my gut tells me.. its just drying and shedding the old stalk material ... [but sometimes my gut and i dont get along.. and it lies to me ... lol]

its an experiment.. yes??? .. ignore it.. let us know..

the shoots look really nice ... so i dont see what you need to do ...

Hi, just to update. the stalk has been potted (i just sprayed the white stuff with water before planting) and is doing very well and shoots are growing leaves. seems the white stuff was not a worry.
