Default Truly tiny and SDC

I have a Truly tiny and a SDC (Super Dwarf Cavendish).

I have the SDC since last september. First he has grown well. Secondly he has made a lot of pups. I remove them all, destroying a lot of roots and repoted him in april.

He restart to grow since a month now. This week 14 pups have sprouted !

What should i do? If i remove them i will kill most of the roots.


My truly tiny tiny is growing fast and realy looks like a real banana plant but in 1/10 scale. He has a great pink coloration on the stem and petioles.
I think it is the not the real one, wich should be an extra dwarf brazilian, but a kind of SDC.


He made two pups this week. Should i pruine them ? I want him to flower !

Your SDC looks like a TT, and vise versa. If you want to remove the pups but not root them, now is the time since you wont kill many roots, but if you want to keep the pups, you must wait until they are bigger.

I don't want to root the pups, i just want the main stem to grow well and flower one day.

Maybe i should keep one on the corm for the next season ?

Ya wouldn't hurt to leave one or two. The rest just cut their connection to the mom with a sharp knife and they'll pull right out.
