Okay, so I have a super dwarf cavendish that I've had a little over a month. It's growing quite well (actually about TWICE as fast as my blue java) but keeps trying to send out pups. It's only about a foot tall and I feel like this is just an unnecessary drain on its development at this time. I cut the first one off below the soil to keep the main plant growing faster. It's now sending up another one.
Should I continue removing the pups for a while? Or is it better to just leave them. I want the main plant to grow optimally and to fruit as best as it can. It just seems like leaving them on there is draining nutrients from the main plant, but maybe that's not the case. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks.
