Has your plant been in that pot since you bought it?
You need to upgrade to a much larger pot if you are going to try and strengthen that one up and grow it out for another year.
I haven't done the slice and dice down to the corm yet but I have chopped a few Ensetes down significantly and they always came back....all except for one which I believe had some damage from a hard winter outside in wet conditions.
Keep us posted as to what you do with your's as we all secretly want to see more great photos of someone brave enough to try and force one to pup!
