Hi, I had a Dwarf Musa Novak. It produced two pups last August. I brought it in from the deck before it got too cold. I let it continue growing by my sliding doors. Eventually mother plant went into a dieing off period. The pups(2),at 7
-8 inches tall were carefully removed. By this time there were plenty of roots.
I dusted cut with hormone powder w/fungicide. I planted each in a five inch pot. I spray mist daily. They are doing really well. This is my first experience
with musa. I have a lot of experience with other plants. My opinion would be not to rush. Make sure they are of good size before attempting to move them.
Good Luck! Hope this has helped you
