The tallest one now might be about 2.5 feet high or so.





The largest most mature one is the dwarf Namwah which died way back but I did not cut it. Here is what it looked like after the frost damage:



Now it has two pups that are growing and I have a predicament. I feel like they should be separated but my right hand is in a cast right now post thumb surgery and I am unable to accomplish this right now, not to mention it is super hot and dry right now. Is it ok to leave these as they are or am I doing more harm than good by leaving them this way? These photos shot just now.





Can anyone help me ID the red plants? I have one other dwarf namwah and a couple of Musa rajapuri (came two plants in one pot) should I separate them or leave them?

Thanks,

Mary
