Should I just cut it?
 

I've had this Musa Acuminata Zebrina since April 2022. I repotted it once in Nov. of 2022 as it had clearly outgrown its original pot. My ceilings are 10 feet and the new leaves keep getting bent and folded as they emerge. Should I just allow it to keep going or should I cut it back by 5 feet or so? It seems that once they are cut back new leaves will grow from the cut. It looks like it's also growing a pup again. I removed one when I repotted it in Nov 2022.

It is also leaning quite a bit. I had been rotating it in 2022 but the leaves go too big to continue rotating in 2023. It was leaning before I stopped though.

If you do not have an outside place to plant where it can grow then it looks like you will need to cut it.

That’s a great looking plant. I am assuming that has been, and will continue to be, it’s permanent home?

I've been thinking about the same kind of thing — I just moved my probable namwa inside and it's a little too tall to be getting light from the windows, but I haven't wanted to cut it yet. Maybe I will next spring when I move it back outside.
