I have a 'truly tiny' banana plant in a pot, and it's doing pretty well. Now, next to the plant, I see two sprouts that seem to be new banana plants. I was not aware that this was how, or at least one way, banana plants were born.
What I want to know is if I can expect to be able to dig them up safely and replant them into their own pot. Is there any special way to do this for the best chance of success? Is it simple or tough? Is it good or bad for the parent plant? If I did not want to use the babies, would it be best to leave them alone or cut them off?
Thanks
