Plant leaning, yellowing leaves, exposed roots
 

The title says it all:
I have several banana plants that are leaning, probably because I need to thin them out.
For a couple weeks I have noticed some unusual yellowing of the leaves of my Loewe's (not) Ice Cream banana. I was not able to explain it first. All pups and all other banana plants are looking healthy and fine. Today I found out the reason for the dying leaves: the roots were exposed because the plant is leaning more and more.
So, yes, I know that I need to thin the mat out and will do it. But there are actually 4 pups around the plant in question acting like anchors at each corner. So I am not sure if it would be a good idea to remove pups ( and risking the plant to fall over completely,mean loosing it) or to just pile up soil, compost and mulch on top of the exposed roots. What should I do?

This is a (not) Ice Cream banana and is leaning a bit. It does have exposed roots but I'll have
to check for yellowing leaves.

I might add some supports if the leaning gets severe. :ha::ha::ha:
