Dwarf Cavendish (PUPS)

I just noticed two pups growing up from the soil. So what do I do next? When do I separate them and how should it be done?

I would just leave them where they are unless they are crowding each other. You actually want to leave a couple of pups with the mother plant if you want to get some fruit.

I now have a total of four babies growing up from the soil. What is my next move?

There is no real urgent need to remove pups unless you want to propagate, if you are happy with the one plant you have then just leave them. If you do want more plants, then do a search for threads on pup or sucker separation.

What if I need to step up the pot size. Can or should I leave the pups and corm as is? I have some dc's and a KRU that needs to be put in bigger containers it has 6 pups.
