I also would like to know what goes into the making of a banana pup at the base of my banana plant? I can't get a word of help from anyone .what about you? hottina44@yahoo.com

In a nutshell ; warmth,water and food should entice your bananas to grow and produce pups. If your bananas are planted in hard,compacted soil ( example clay type soil) this may hinder or slow its growth.

It's in the soil it was shipped to me in.? Only food I have is citrus food, where can I buy good banana fertilizer? Appreciate it greatly! Also will a clone grow pups? That's what I have. It came with a small pup but it died 1 mo. Later.
