Welcome to the site! I hope you enjoy it here and learn a lot...I know I sure have! As far as Ensetes go.....they are seed grown only and do not pup under normal conditions. I've only heard of one type of ensete pupping (Ensete Ventricosum 'Maurelii'-the Red Abyssinian Banana) and this was NOT under natural growing conditions....it was tricked to multiply by completely chopping off a large plant and mutilating the growth point (there are pictures in the wiki pages). Musas do pup, some more than others depending on the species, but you will never see Ensetes pup, unless it's a really rare or unnatural occasion. So no worries....you're not doing anything wrong! Best of luck with your plants. If you have questions, just ask!
