It produced suckers very fast and continues to do so. I’ve taken out a few of them to hopefully help the mother plant grow faster.

On the other hand, I got a Raja Puri corm from a trusted banana seller and it’s growing like crazy; must’ve been a sword sucker.
dwarf cavendish pups alot when they are severely stressed or about to die. if your plant is only a foot tall then this is the case. i don't think your seller is to blame. i, from reading your post, would suspect to high of nitrogen. i once gave some miracle grow to a dc in a pot and killed it, but it put out about 20 pups before dieing.

i like my raja puri and i know them to be a more foregiving plant.
