should i transplant new banana plant growth?

Question

i had a banana plant for over a year now. i bought it when it was young. its about a foot and half feet tall, and in a large pot. over the summer it was outside and now it grew 3 other plants in teh same pot. should i transplant them out of the pot into new ones?

Answer 1

We have banana trees that have gone crazy in our back yard - they are over 20 feet tall and spread each year! We have freezes in the winter (north central Texas) and the trees die down and look awful - we cut them down. And then they grow up in the spring and summer really tall! We moved into our home a few years ago and nothing was in this one area and then in the spring we saw these 4 green sprouts and decided to wait and see what they did. lol Now there are over 40 stalks in this one area. We had some sort of bananas one year - grew in big bunches - but they weren't edible.
A few stalks fell over this past month - I think there isn't enough room to spread - and we stuck them in water and they grew roots and started to have new leaves! We gave them to a friend to plant in her yard last weekend.
If you have them in a pot - they can grow bigger and I would transplant them into other pots as you get new stalks. That is if you want them! :) Ours get about 12 to 14 hrs of sunlight a day so they like the sun and it's hot here in the summer and they seem to thrive.
We do nothing to them other them water a bit when it's really dry out. I'd be scared to feed them! lol
Best of luck to you!

Answer 2

Yes they wont do any good in the same pot.
But am not sure what sucess you will have growing in a pot anyway, they are rather large plants as they mature

Answer 3

Plant them in the yard in a moist area. They'll die back in winter, but come back even bigger in spring

Answer 4

Divide and replant in cool weather.
