Forgot to mention that they are pretty easy to separate while still young like that. You can pull them out of the pot and get a sharp knife or shovel and just cut through the corm. Just try your best to get some corm on each plant. And then you'll have a whole slew of plants before you know it.

Good buy, when seperating also get some root on the pup as this will help much to get it started. Good luck and keep us posted.

Then simply plant the pups in pots?:nanadrink: |
Re: Home Depot $11.88 Cardaba Purchase
Repotting might be a good idea now so the plant can grow a bit larger and give the pup some time to grow good roots. Watch the plant and check to make sure it isn't getting root bound. Easy to do, just remove the plant from pot and see if the roots are circling around the pot. We are a bit rough with the plant roots but haven't had any severe problems. When repotting we untangle the roots as best as possible and using good compost and other composted tree bark and leaves give them a larger condo to move into(bigger pot). Most of the time they love it and in a very short will start to show their growth. As with life, patience and discipline pays off in hearts. Have fun.

The two potted plants in the pictures are not Cardaba bananas. They look like Dwarf Cavendish. Cardaba has closed petioles that are long and those plants have open petioles that are short.

They never really seem to sell anything other then Cavendishes.
I would not seperate that pup for a while. Just repot it for now. I wish they'd sell more here, anyone seen bananas at target?? (Target is coming to my area nest year. |

Here are the two "cardaba" plants I have for comparison |
Re: Home Depot $11.88 Cardaba Purchase
The same thing happened to me when I was sold two plants labeled "Ice Cream." They were mislabeled, and instead I have two unidentified plants. It's pretty common for this to happen at big box stores and even some smaller nurseries, and in most cases it's likely not their fault. It's probably a better idea to not buy banana plants from large stores like Home Depot and Lowe's and instead buy them from smaller, more specialized nurseries.
