Question about shoots on bananas for a noobie
Hi guys, I'm new to bananas
 and I just noticed that my banana has two little baby bananas growing from the sides. After reading a bit about them, I know its still too early to try to separate them. My concern is that since i live in new york, I'm guessing the plant has only another month at most to be out and getting full sun. Do I just keep growing the guy as normal? Or do the babies need any special consideration? Also... do you think it needs a bigger pot now that there's potentially two more naners growing? Or can I wait until I bring it back out next year to upsize? It's a dwarf lady fingerThanks!!! pics incoming https://postimg.org/image/4zchx3kkr/ https://postimg.org/image/mdwq5dhpn/   Last edited by buffalo999111 : 09-03-2016 at 09:47 AM. |

Re: Question about shoots on bananas for a noobie
First of all, welcome to bananas.org.
I don't grow any banana plants in pots, but if it would be my plant, I would leave it as is. The pups are way too tiny to separate. |

Leave it as is. In my experience if something goes wrong, the mother plant will die and the pups will replace her.

Re: Question about shoots on bananas for a noobie
Definitely leave the pups alone. If you have a larger pot, have room for it inside and can lift a heavier mass, I'd gently transplant the entire family. If not this year, then next for sure.

Re: Question about shoots on bananas for a noobie
I would definitely repot in the biggest pot you can find. The sooner the better.
