Hi all,
Relatively new to keeping banana plants. I have a Musa Acumulata that has recently sprouted some suckers and I need advice on what to do with them. Last year it sprouted a water sucker which I removed and is doing fine in another pot. However this year it has 3 sprouted, one of which I think is a water sucker and the other two are swords? If so should I just remove the water sucker when it's a little bit bigger or do I remove and repot all of them?

For reference the mother plant is around 1ft tall and the suckers are around 3 inches / 7cm tall.
