Re: Basjoo with stiped leaves

Mine is doing the same thing....as it shoots up a new leaf it is striped with red but then it fades out and turns green after awhile.

Re: How many pups can typically grow?

I tried digging one up that was about 1 1/2 feet tall, but it didn't have any roots on it! I just stuck it in the ground to see what happens! At what point (size) do the pups develop their own roots?

How many pups can typically grow?

I planted out my musa basjoo about 5 weeks ago and it looks like I am getting pups already! I have 4 pups growing up underneath the stem. Is this typical? I expected to get pups maybe next year.
