Is there any way to encourage the growth of pups on my Musa Tanee?
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...29591344661040
This banana has at least doubled in height and diameter and barely appears to be growing a pup off one of the eyes. It has 3 others which I added keiki paste to to hopefully activate to also start growing. Just want to increase the numbers of this banana so is there any ways to really get it to focus on growing more pups rather than the size of the main plant?

Can't speak to this variety, but bananas in general respond to fertilizer. However the affect is usually not immediate. In addition some varieties tend to pup early in the life cycle, and others more toward the end.

Re: Is there any way to encourage the growth of pups on my Musa Tanee?
Thanks. I believe this is pupping relatively early since it has only been actively growing around 2 months, forming a tiny pup at the base probably about an inch long off the corm. I did fertilize it with epsoma pellets 3-4-4 as well as some cut up alfalfa. Have routinely added it's old leaves, banana peels or garden scraps around the base of the pot. Will wait until I know for sure that pup has enough size and roots before removal.
