Bananas.org - View Single Post - Separating pups earlier than I probably should

Since I transplanted a couple of my basjoos, I saw that there were already multiple pups on both of them so I took 2 of them off my larger one with a clean knife cut off the corm and these guys didn't even have their own roots yet having like 1 leaf each and at 6 inches tall.

I used juicy roots rooting gel as well as other liquid based root stimulators in a very loose home-made potting mix which seems to make everything grow well for me and I also put them in filtered sun with bamboos on the side blocking some of the sun on the hottest hours. Has anyone ever had success with this experiment?

Here's how they look now.
