After my first over winter with banana plants, I managed to lose two plants (both grown indoors, attacked by bugs and then rotted) but two plants did survive. Additionally, the Basjoo that I left in the ground without protection did die, but I believe it is sending up two pups. One of them I am pretty certain is a pup and the other I am not so sure.

Is this a pup?

Is it too early to start fertilizing the larger ones?

Should I put the ones that rotted outside and try watering them or consider them a lost cause?

Congrats! The one for sure is a basjoo pup, I found one too that looks exactly the same. Maybe the other one, a week or so and you should be able to tell. I wouldn't fertilize anything until you maybe get one more big leaf that fully opens, but I'm no expert. I would also put the ones you think are rotted outside, you never know. I have many that look dead, but I'm not giving up yet, just in case. LOL

Good luck!
