So i am not sure what to do with my super dwarf cavendish. i'm zone 7 in DE, and i have the plant in a pot inside. the mother has been growing only very slowly since the end of the outdoor season, but the pup is growing like crazy. i'm seeing some trouble coming when the newest spear unfolds.

as you can see by the latest pictures in my gallery, the new spear is going to unfold directly into the stem of the mother. and i also think that the next spear will probably reach the underside of the mother's leaves.

my question is this - should i seperate the plants? how do i do this? is it safe to do it now or should i wait? any help will be greatly appreciated!
