Default Re: Newly transplanted pups

I am in Louisville KY- would you recommend keeping them inside while they situate to transplant for the foreseeable future? It is a bummer I jumped the gun and split them, but felt they were starting to crunch each other out. The main corm and 3 pups stuffed into a 2.5 gallon pot was worrying me!

So with this pup transplants the key is to keep them more dry than usual with most banana plants? From what I have read on here, they thrive on neglect, but also require a lot of water.

I used N-EXT products floragreen and RGS with JOBE citrus fertilizer and have a moisture meter.

Frankly one of the pups (the biggest, about 1.5 feet) is looking rather blahhh with the split but the two mini's I made cigars and main corm look fine. For morbid sake, at what point do you know the pups bit the dust? From what I read on here they may initially look sickly and turn out fine.
