Was this plant in a pot at some point of its life?
Was it from Tissue Culture or was it cut directly from another plant?
What is the spoil like and did you amend with compost when you planted it?
These are some other things to consider in addition to the above.
The second bloom, the one from the next pseudostem to shoot up, will most probably be larger than this one.
Congrats on your bloom and now that you know its totally possible, you can give a little more attention as you prepare for the next bloom.
Raja Puri take a little longer to plump up and be ready to cut down than some other types of banana in my experience. They dont have what we would consider a thin skin either. So be patient with them!
Cheers
