Momo,

When an established plant croaks, the pupping is much better that when the main p-stem is flourishing - I was shown that from the beginning. Now I now for sure. My Gran Nain x Sumatrana croaked and sent up SEVEN healthy pups. The SDC stopped new growth and sent up 4 pups - it recovered after separation. The Goldfinger is nearing fruition and has produced 5 pups - pulled them all - mama is growing like crazy. The crazy dwf twin orinocos have produced one racime and I'm pulling one 2 foot pup a week to keep the vigor in the first fruit. The little Ae Ae is recovering from overwater'n and has shown a little pup. Stress makes it all happen. The more the better!!!

You should look forward to good pupping - the pic shows a good strong new pup. As pitangadiego says - have patience!!

Oh, oh -- a hurricane may be headed my way. OMG, I may become swamped in banana plants!!!
