Hi all , I got a Musa 'Darjeeling Giant' from Plant Delights Nursery a couple of months ago, it's doing very well and I'm happy with it.
My question is if it's a seed grown Musa should it be pupping already?
On PDN site they say they are seed grown, I don't care if it's a selected TC clone but I was wondering why it's pupping so soon. I may have stressed it but I don't think so, it's been in the Greenhouse and then potted up a to a five gallon pot and been outside for about two weeks.It has two nice pups coming up at the moment, which is fine as long as it does not affect the growth rate of the main plant too much.
