In short, a banana mat that is not growing well will produce more water suckers than will one that is growing well. On mats that are growing well, you seldom see water suckers, and those are usually on small bits of corm that somehow got isolated from the rest of the corm and root system -- e.g., by removing pups in between the main portion of the plant and a small piece of corm beyond it.
