Default Help please with "Jimmy"

Hello, so i got this Banana tree from Greece, his name is "Jimmy".
On the pot he came in had a tag of Musa Acuminata.
Would like to know what kind of banana tree he is?
Can i keep him for life in the pot?
How can i safely take out the small ones to move them in another pot?



Thank you!

Thank you!
Jimmy the Greek will do fine in a pot.
As your plant grows taller and wider you will need to increase pot size.
You may use a sharp knife to remove the small pups from the main plant and replant them.

A Youtube search "how to remove banana pups" will give you ideas on how to do it.

Your plant could be a dwarf variety of Cavendish.

Let them grow some more as they are getting stronger and developing a robust root..then you my carefully remove them and plant them in a pot of your choice.
You can do this in another 30+ days.

There is a good chance you will get the plant to flower and then make edible fruit in 3-5 years.

Thank you for the help, i've removed all four pups on the 1st of May, not sure if the 3 small ones will survive, some of their leafs dried up but are still green, Jimmy and the larger pup are fine, growing new leafs hope the smaller will survive.
I don't have access to exotic plants fertilizer or pesticides.

All of them are fine, growing again, getting a new leaf every week so all good for now, another 3 pups are growing from the main plant.
