Default Re: Rejeuvenating Gailey's Ensete v. Maurelii

Ensete ventricosum will get less leggy if it gets more sun. Sounds like yours may need to get cut back, but on similar indoor ensete threads it was reccommended to place a small fan on it to strengthen it up, a fan on a appliance timer might be best, so it kicks on ever so often.
This is a really common problem with Ensete ventricosum when grown indoors, and summers approaching so don't dispair.
OR are you tring to cut it back to force it to pup? If not I'd only cut it back a little, not to the corm, but after seeing the picture of yours it's doesn't look to bad.
