Excited,

If it's not too late, a few questions for you:

Long term, what would you like to do? Would you like to have multiple banana plants? Would you like to maintain a small stand of them?

If it's a potted plant in a window, your current 18" should be fine for a pupping nain. 24" certainly can't hurt if you're interested in a tiny forest in the short term.

Long term, you'll want to separate your plants and keep them all, supposing you have room. In the mean time, 18" won't be too tight, but once your mother plant has 4' or more on it, you'll want to consider separating the pups once they're about half the size of the mother.

Admittedly, I'm not speaking from a lot of experience, but knowing a little about corms and root tendencies makes the situation a bit easier to offer advice.
