Musella are very odd bananas to say the least. In order to divide pups with success, you need to get big corm chunks with pups on them, rather than a more Musa like approach where you would seperate each pup seperately with its own corm. Musella pups start from within the mother plant kinda and come out of the old leaf bases then when they get big enough eventually end up being on the outside like normal bananas, but then when the mat gets big enough anything can happen, they come up everywhere. You are very unlikely to kill the mother plant, they are pretty much bullet proof if already growing, and of course yours is very happy. On flowering, Musella will sometimes produce multiple lateral blooms in addition to the main one out of the pseudostem, they come up like leafless pups like you see on some gingers.
