Zebrina(s) Growing Very Slowly

Hello Everyone!

I live in South Florida. A couple of years ago I purchased a Zebrina banana. They are beautiful plants. When I first purchased the plant it grew like a weed. Within a year I already sprouted and transplanted a pup. Due to the rapid progress, when I transplanted the pup, I decided to put the larger mother banana in a slightly bigger container - to allow room for more growth potential. I then placed the pup in the old original container. I now have a total of two Zebrinas. It seems like within the last year both of the plants barely have grown. The pup seems to be almost the same height it was 9 months ago. They barely make any progress anymore. The difference between when I purchased them and now is night and day. I'm not sure if this helps.. but it might be worth mentioning that the variegation fades very quickly on the leaves. I just want my plants to big big beautiful and lush. Right now they just seem stunted. My bananas should be performing like they're on rocket fuel! C'mon! I live in South Florida! Does any body have any thoughts? Any thoughts or advice would be incredibly appreciated. Thank you everyone!

The plants could much better if you planted them in the ground in south Florida.
A photo of the plants could help us determine if you are having issues.
