my musa bajoo plant is non responsive but
 

I have a musa bajoo that has 3 pups which are thriving and the main plant seems to have stopped growing no new leaves in about 10 days, should I remove and pot the pups

Do you know how to?

The only time I had one stop growing was my Orinoco when it was inside it got hit with spider mites. Once I got them under control it started back up. Don't know if that's what it is yours is outside it seems to be less of a problem outside in the humid summer but wouldn't hurt to check. Besides that I don't know what would cause it.

Definitely some stunted growth on that guy. You may want to check the main part of the corm as well for possible rot whereas the pups are feeding off the better part of it.

Its not big enough to throw a flower or anything (which stops new leaves from coming out until the deformed looking one does).

Your soil seems to retain a lot of moisture. If so, separate the pups and repot with adding a good amount of sand in your soil.

Yeah I agree I add sand and perlite to my soil now also.

How much do your fertilize? Some times some deficiencies will cause an older pstem to stop growing and reset, and pups will replace it. The paleness of the new pup leaves would suggest it might need a little calcium, and sometimes the stem sheaths will separate like that from low magnesium, but some separation is normal as the pstem gets larger. I have noticed on Basjoo also that the pink midrib seems to show when a little nitrogen deficient, or appears to be for me, because after I fertilize, the pink will go away. Or, does it get very dry at times? Calcium uptake is affected by drought, and it will cause stunting.

Definitely is N amd Fe deficient. Seperate the pups. Refil momma and pup pots with very well draining soil with some good ferts in there, whether it be organic or slow release chem. If you use sand as an amendment, make sure it is COURSE builders sand not playsand, this is very important as playsand holds far too much water. Personally perlite works better for me as a 25+ gal pot with half full of sand is heavy as hell. Then give the plant some good sun and you're good to go.
