I saw a programme on TV a while back showing commercial Tulip culture in Holland. what they were doing was to get a bulb, quarter it or chop it into eighths vertically like you would a tomato. the 'segments' were then put on damp vermiculite in a warm dark propagation room. A few weeks later roots and sprouts and away you go.
It might work just the same with the Ensete. A good way to go from 1 to 8. the 'key' was to have the tiniest bit of rooting tissue on each segment
