Default Bananas wont start growing !

Hi people,

I have a serious problem with some of my bananas (Helens hybrid, Sikkimensis).

They spent last winter in containers in my cold attic. And everything was ok, until I planted them in my garden this spring.
Some of them wont start growing.

This is the story:

Some of them had a central leaf that was a little brown, so after a while, i cut the entire plant, to the healthy part. I expected a growht from the centre of the plant (as usual), but nothing happend. After a while, the place of cutting turn brown. So I cut the plant a little lower (again all healthy) but without success. And little by little, from the stem of allmost 2 meters, now I have 0,5 meter.

I have to say, that this is happening with 4 plants. Some other responded well to cutting of the stem and they have now 3 or 4 new leaves.

Please, do you know how to make them grow ?????
