Re: Seperating a growing pup?
The pups I took off my SDC and DC were respectively 2" and 1", sort of an experiment to see if they would live.
The 2" SDC pup as I said before never stopped growing and I watered it like I would any other banana, letting it dry out between waterings. Since it is in a tiny 4" pot it needs water frequently.
The 1" DC pup is in a 3" pot, and immediately after planting the leaves turned brown and died, except for a tiny bit of green left on the spear leaf. It remained just like this for 3 months, with regular watering when it was dry, until about Christmas time, when it literally burst into life, and is now growing fast and healthy.
A side note, the DC pup was the small kind, not the sword kind, but since its remergence I would swear it has changed traits because it started growing much more like a sword pup. Not sure if this makes sense to anyone, it really doesn't make much to me.
