I guess I'm really confused on banana anatomy! Lol how would you cut the pups loose but leave the roots in tact? I did do the surgery and separate Larry, Moe, & curley, but now all three of the trees look pretty sad ;( There was only one corm (I think) so two of the three banana plants only have roots now. Did I do something wrong? I actually did an entire soil change in order to see what I was doing also. Took a hose and washed all the soil away completely.. What a job! Was there an easier way?
