I yanked pups by hand not long ago but they were growing in a very well mulched mat so just popped out. (Potted up and growing well.) I've never dug around in a pot. I've always tipped it over, rinsed off the dirt, teased out the root knottings and then potted up the offsets/main plant. BUT, huge but, these were not bananas except the DC I did last year. All went well and I gave away lots of potted pups but it was just a DC so if it hadn't gone well, no harm, no foul since it's easily and cheaply replaced with a stop at Walmart, HD or Lowes.
