Last post for today,I promise

I finally found a Truly Tiny that I had been looking for to give as a gift to my mother.
The Pseudostem is about 12 inches right now and it has 6 leaves(7th leaf coming shortly) and it has a Pup that is about 1/2 to 1 inch tall with 1 leaf.
The plant will be going into a 3 gallon pot for its permanent home probably by Mothers Day.

When should the Pup be separated? Should it be done when the mother is planted into its new pot or should it wait until its bigger?
I'm also guessing the procedure is the same as for all other bananas?

Any other tips,tricks and advice you can give us on growing a Truly Tiny would be most Appreciated as there doesn't seem to be a lot of information on them.

Thank You
Les
