Yayy! Thanks so much for this great tutorial, I successfully separated a pup and re-potted mommy and baby. Both are doing well. It was great to have those big pictures and fool-proof (me-proof) directions! And even though it was my first time, it went so quickly because your tutorial prepared me! Thanks bunches! Now all I have to do is figure out what kind of nana I actually have! See you all in that thread!

I have a Basjoo that has 2 pups at the moment. One is alittle over 1 foot tall from soil line to leaf tip (its got 3 leaves now). My question is should it be 1-2 feet tall as I described? OR, should it be 1-2feet tall not including the leaves (pseudostem only)?

Thanks!

Jared why do you separate and plant by the mother instead of just leaving the pup attached? DoI need to separate these pups and plant by the mother or just leave them attached for the 3 to 4 plants per mat ?

I would stagger the height of the pstems on that mat and remove two of them so it would have that little one and a bigger one. Look ahead, if they are all the same height you will have a big demand for nutrients (poor yields) and a lot of banana fingers all at once!

Hello again to one & all, Thanks for the replies to my 1st post.
So now I am asking another beginner question. My seemingly rapidly growing Dwarf Cavendish had one 1 inch diameter 4 inch tall follower yesterday and this evening has 3 more shoots but they are all very small so far.

How many do I want to keep? When do I detach them? etc.
