Do you know what type of musa is it?
Tropicana or Dwarf Cavendish or maybe anything similar?
I'm new to this plants and I love it. I want to plant them at home.

The Truly Tiny is a very Dwarf Cavendish. I think got this correct:
the Dwarf Cavendish ( DC) is 6 ft to 8 ft tall;
the Super Dwarf Cavendish (SDC) is 3 ft to 4 ft tall;
Then there is the Truly Tiny, which is 2ft (in pots) to 3 ft (in ground) tall and can bare eatable fruit.
Another small size banana plant is the 'Little Prince' which is an ornamental banana that does not bare fruit. It grows about 18" to 24" tall.
Google these for comparison. Your plant has a thick stalk for its size which is characteristic of the Truly Tiny. ... The Little Prince has a thinner stalk but a large bulge at its base. Your plant does not have the bulge.
As already states, many growers/nurseries makeup plant names to boost their sales. Your plant was only labeled 'Musa', so I suspect the seller didn't know what type banana that was. ... Anyway the Truly Tiny and the Little Prince are the smallest banana plants that I know of and/or seen in banana cultivar references.
