Default Cut off my basjoo...

I`m growing musa basjoo (in sweden,on itīs 2nd year) ) outdoors on my balcony in the summer and when the frost come i cut it off and move indoors to rest.I did cut it in dec this year and tīs already coming back and the new growths are bigger than the old. My question - will the old get as big as it was again? it did last year but this year it seems like the pups are going to outgrow the big one...?

As long as all those pups are still attached to the Mother Corm, they'll all grow together. If you cut down the main Pstem, it will grow back and keep getting bigger, but not as fast as the pups. It's like comparing the growth of someone in their late teens to someone who is 5, the kid is going to shoot up faster (at first).

Also, my personal preference, I think you need a bigger pot...
