What kind of banana? How large was the mother? You must have gotten a fair bit of corm for each one? Did they have the start of roots? Where were you keeping these -- They look very healthy -- in a greenhouse?

The red/green dwarf mother was right at 5 ft tall.
the williams was 3 ft tall .I have been keeping these in my house . When we cut them we did get lots of roots on 1 but the others realy didn't have a lot of roots.

They look great. Those babies of yours look healthy!
Thank-you for the pics'.

Thanks a lot ! I posted these because everyone i talk to says to wait till the pups have at least 2 leaves, and
just wanted to try and see if i could get pups to grow
that small.

Topher I think I have a Red/Green Dwarf also. Yours look a lot like my pups. Do yours ever get any red splotches on they're leaves? Mine may also be a Dwarf Cavendish.

I was just curious and it probably wont work but in the future when I remove pups without roots can they be dipped in rooting hormone like certain other plants to grow new roots and replant?

Also how do you tissue culture a banana plant or any other plant for that matter? Ive heard you can split the mother corm into 4 pie sections and grow 4 new plants. Is this true at all? Thanks for any info.

No mine don't get any red splotches that i have ever seen.
I had a pup a guy gave me with no roots. I never tried rooting hormone but 2 weeks later it died.
I have no idea how to tissue culture a banana sorry .
