This is bit off topic, but my oldest banana plant is over 8 feet tall or 100 inches and the pup is already 5 feet tall. How tall should the banana stem be before allowing pups to grow? I try to keep only one pup per mat. I think I might be allowing pups to grow too early.

The pups seem to grow really fast!
