If it has large pots or is in soil it doesn't pup that often. I have one 2' tall plant with 8 and 1' tall plant with 17 pups. Who's luckier?

De ja vu, Jack

Is the p-stem 4' or is it 4' to the tip of the tallest leaf? That's a great looking plant, btw. Mine are just around 2' of p-stem and I was hoping that they would get a little taller / thicker.

P-stem, always a P-stem height.

I was asking about Hammers plant/quote.
I just measured mine and they're 18". I wonder, though, if your plant is a Dwarf Cavendish and not a Super Dwarf?

The HCM would probably stop putting leaves out at right angles and started stacking the petioles at a shorter heigth and in a tight spin like SDC does.

Note that the HCM lose a lot , if not all, of the wine stains when they mature. NANAMAN's was almost completely OD green when it bloomed.
Still, your plant is too tall with too much space between the petioles for it to be one of these or SDC...imo.
