Default Re: Lots of suckers

Generally, the older the plant, the more vigorous the sword suckers become.
That banana plant seems like its probably stressing from that pot. Those pups are probably worth keeping... they look good to me..
And when you say you chop them off when they emerge, how exactly are you chopping and where? Topping it off at the soil line, or severing down and completely removing the mass under the soil?
Regards
