Any suggestions, remove or let it ride?
If you have the space, let them grow. They look dry or perhaps too wet (see note below) or hungry. I'm a weirdo about potting unhappy plants so I'd put them into nice big pots with some good dirt then feed and water them as needed so I had control over their destiny.

Note: I have only 1 in the ground where I am; she's a DC from Lowes purchased on Mother's Day. I originally planted her where I thought she'd be happy; she drooped horribly. I moved her 6' to the right to a bit drier area; despite no care from me her leaves are now 4' long and they're about 4' or more over my head. (BTW, I'm not a dwarf; I stand about 5'4" in my doddering old age. She's become a landmark in a neighborhood where the few 3 year old bananas people have planted are 3' tall with 1' leaves at best.)
