So I've had this for about a year now, it also finally has a pup! Not sure what to do with the pup though.

I might be transplanting it into a bigger pot soon too.

Looks like a Super dwarf cavendish.
I would say up potting would be a good idea. Looks like you could bury the main stem a few more inches too.

I agree, SDC and re-potting it is in order. Leave the pup on until it gets bigger. Right not it has little or no roots of its own.

Looks great! Repotting doesn't seem like a bad idea and I agree with C21...you can probably bury it up to where the pink pseudostem meets the brown area below. I'd just leave the pup for now. It won't harm the main plant or affect its growth in any way and it's much too small to transplant now. Just let it do its thing, I guess. Seems like you're doing well, though, so keep up the good work!
