So im in the UK and could do with some advice on my dwarf musa! (I think thats what it is anyway)

I have recently repotted it after him having 4 new babies, I just repotted them altogether in mature plant soil, he was pretty root bound and his soil was all stuck together in a big clump so it was really hard to separate and i didnt want to do too much damage! however I am concerned I've done it wrong as the leaf tips have turned slighlty yellow and the youngest pup is turning yellow

Sounds like shock and too much water. Make sure the pot drains well and let it dry out between watering.

Many times a plant will pull back when disturbed or split and take a few more weeks to sort itself out.
If roots were severed and rearranged expect little longer recovery.

The plant is pretty resilient ......good luck.
