I got a couple from a DG member in Florida that came by mail and then car across the border and one had black spots etc from rough travelling. I found it dried up in those areas and the new leaves couldn't come out. I stripped back all the black and damaged growth down to just before the top of the roots, one layer at a time, until I found the new leaf trapped inside. It was like peeling onion skin.

This is what they look like this year.....after spending 9 months inside. They were small pups when I received them and the damaged one lost 2/3rds of it's growth.

They are hidding behind the Tropicana Canna. And no I'm not expecting nanas or even a bloom this year. ;)
