Re: No pups yet....should I be worried?
Different varieties send out a lot more pups than others.
Also if they were near dormant inside the house they won't be sending out any pups. The corm needs to be actively growing with warm temperatures.
I have several bananas that have not pupped yet and I also have several that pup like crazy.
For me I have found these varieties send out several suckers like crazy - Orinoco, Dwarf Cavendish, Niņo
I'm growing 2 different Manzano I got last year - one was a Tissue Culture and the other a true sword pup I bought online.
Surprisingly the sword sucker has not given me a pup yet but the Tissue Culture one has - just one though.
