could this be a sdc instead of dc ?

Okay so back in March i bought this plant at hd. It has been in the same pot since the day i bought it. 3 weeks ago before i brought it inside I took it out of the pot and added 3 inches of soil because it was rootbound. And through out the summer it got quite tall. Just in the past week or 2 i have noticed its not really getting tall as it use to. I water every 3 or 4 days cause i keep the room 86 f. here are some pictures please let me know what you think.

Definitely looks like a super dwarf cavendish to me. Ive never seen my HD sell a Dwarf cavendish, only super dwarf cavendish, and the entire growth habit of the plant reminds me of an SDC.

Its got to be sdc.

I had thought it was a sdc because all my other plants had gotten so big and this one just kept adding leaves. now i am seeing the p-stem is getting bigger and bigger every few days. thanks !!

HD does sell both, but I have only seen SDC in the really small pots and the DC are in 5 gallon pots in my experience. It looks like SDC to me.

I wish we had other banana varieties at the HD's here, but all I've seen here is SDC, but Im sure that in warmer zones like you, there is a lot more variety! But either way, I definitely agree that its a SDC in the pic!

Definitley SDC , you can tell just by the thickness of the psuedostem in relation to the height for sure.
