Default Musa sikkimensis problem?

I finally received a couple M.sikkimensis and M.itinterans!!
But 2 of the 3 sikkimensis had started growing out the side.
Is this going to be a problem, and/or is there anything I can to to help them straighten up?

cut away the portion above where it is growing and it will allow it to come out a bit easier, if you don't it will eventually bust thru it anyways and be fine in the end but its always good practice to remove the stuff thats in the way.
