Question PUPS! What do I do?

As a dog trainer, I'm not used to the "no fur" kind.

I've got a GranNain at 24" with 8+1 leaves on it. It now has a pup that has shot out from the base to a whopping 6" in just this week, with a second pup just breaking the soil line, and possibly a THIRD one - which is just a white bump at the base about an inch below the soil line.


So now that I see these guys coming on... Do I prune them off? Do I let them be? Keep the first but stop the rest?

I have a 18" pot in a south facing window. No spec lighting.
Temp: 75
Humidity: Med-High (Humidifier on all day while at work, windows are literally wet from condensation when I get home)
Soil: Perlite mix. Watering light every 3-4wks with double fertilizer.


I am worried about it being pot-bound. How do I tell if I need to upgrade, and if so, how big?

My plans are to: Grow it to full size, maybe indoors, and get it to fruit. I don't know much of anything about the life cycle of MusaGranNain and have just been caring for it out of pure excitement - with little to no knowledge about them.

Honestly, I don't even know how long the plant will live, if it dies after fruiting, and if there is anything i'm doing wrong.
