You are good to pot up your plant just as it is
Grow the plant like you would your other banana plants, there really is not much to it.
The plant will sort itself out in a month or so.

Refer back to your other post.
Soil for a Banana 🍌 aeae
There are also some great youtube videos which can help you make decisions how to grow your plant. Keywords /propagate/root banana plant from corm.
Clean course sand,perlite,or a loose soiless mix will saftly facilitate root growth for a new plant.
A forum search can lead you to the threads that can help you make a decision based on your needs.
Here are some good pics of forum member HMelendez way propagate new plants.
