Confusing title...? What's the fastest a banana pup you transplanted produced pups of its own!?

I transplanted this Orinoco water pup with little roots and no visible corm about 2 months ago and it's really only had about 6 weeks of growth after transplant shock recovery.

To top it all off, I didn't even bother using good compost and planted it in the cheapest topsoil I had available!

The pseudo stem is only 2" thick and 2ft tall and is 3ft at the leaves.

I do water it daily and have been fertilizing weekly so it has been growing nicely and seems very happy but I was still very surprised to see it pupped already!
