Default Sword pup growth

Has anyone else noticed that a plant (especially a newer plant) after it gets settled in will grow nicely then start putting out several sword pups but they only get anywhere from 2" to 4" tall and stop growing? Then many months later, they might start up again? I have a Goldfinger with about 5' of pseudostem but it keeps putting out little pups that get about 2" tall then stop. It now has 6-7 of them all around the base. Why do they stop growing and just sit there?

Just wondering if this natural. Other bananas will put out a pup and it just keeps growing.

HAPPY SPRING to everyone.
