I do not think it has as yet developed any flower stalk as the stem width is quite narrow.
it will remain in the living room behind a sunny window(OK that is only if the window gets any sun at all!)

Another forum member amantedelenguaje does this with success .
Visit their photo gallery for some great photos.
There is even a pic with with a plant fruiting......right out of the cut p-stem.
Many forum members will cut their stems very short to fit shipping boxes when they sell/trade their plants.
Banana plants will recover very fast when ACTIVELY growing .
