If it has large pots or is in soil it doesn't pup that often. I have one 2' tall plant with 8 and 1' tall plant with 17 pups. Who's luckier? :lurk:

De ja vu, Jack :ha:

Is the p-stem 4' or is it 4' to the tip of the tallest leaf? That's a great looking plant, btw. Mine are just around 2' of p-stem and I was hoping that they would get a little taller / thicker.

P-stem, always a P-stem height.

I was asking about Hammers plant/quote.
I just measured mine and they're 18". I wonder, though, if your plant is a Dwarf Cavendish and not a Super Dwarf?

Could your plant be dwarf cavendish and not super dwarf? Here is a picture of two super dwarfs a little over a year old from tc. They look different then yours. thanks

The HCM would probably stop putting leaves out at right angles and started stacking the petioles at a shorter heigth and in a tight spin like SDC does.

I don't think it is hcm not colorful enough. Here is a dwarf cavendish. Lots of black on the p.stem.

I really think you have a DC there.

Note that the HCM lose a lot , if not all, of the wine stains when they mature. NANAMAN's was almost completely OD green when it bloomed.
Still, your plant is too tall with too much space between the petioles for it to be one of these or SDC...imo.
