Okay, I don't really know much about diferentiating species, so I need some help. I've looked at the big green guy here and was under the impression it was a dwarf Cav. (That's what the seller "thought" it was) However, there is no red on the pseudostem, it's green all the way down.

Now, this one was a single stem through summer of last year (when I bought it), put out a few pups over the winter in my office, had maybe 18" to 2 feet of trunk. But while in my office it stunted out and didn't grow much, kept losing leaves. I repotted and put outside end of May, nearly all the growth you see is from the last 2 months outside. All the old leaves have gone brown and down and were cut off. It has also gone from 3 pups to more than 12 at last count. I've fertilized it with 20/20/20+micronutrients twice since it went outside.
What the heck do I have here? Is it a dwarf "something"? If it's pupping this much can I expect a bloom soon?
If you want a closer pic of petioles or any other part of the plant, I can post requests tonight.
(also, ignore the blood-leaf, that I have no hope for fruit from it)
Fence is rougly 3ft high, top of the last cigar leaf was taller than me (6') before it opened and flopped over.
Also, Thanks for looking!
