Re: when to separate pups?
Thanks for the photo - nice healthy plant.
What are the dimentions of the plant container? Do you know what type of banana it is? |

Re: when to separate pups?
Looks to be a cavendish type. Most likely a dwarf cavendish.
I would pot them all into a larger pot and allow the pups to get a little larger. You would get a better success rate and it would be easier to cut them. Where did you get the plant from? The true Cali gold is a dwarf Orinoco type. Honestly the dwarf Orinoco is just as good!

Re: when to separate pups?
I wouldn't separate those at all. Transplant to the ground, then separate when the pups are 2 to 3 ft tall and the corn has had time to grow. ... Basically I wouldn't separate them even then.

Re: when to separate pups?
Oops, the bananas needed repotting a few days ago so I did that before seeing replies and I separated one pup off into its own pot. I figured that since I have two pups might as well make a little experiment
So far, two days later, the pup is still alive in its own 4" pot. The larger one with pup attached is in a #2 pot. It's going to be interesting (for me at least) to watch... Quote:
