*the watering: once in a week some time twice heavy watering
*I give them composted sheep manure and kitchen scraps compost monthly

You could just wait. They will produce pups naturally. But if your plants are growing strong, are big, and it will be warm banana growing weather for a while, where you are, then you could chop the trunks off down low and they will produce pups.

separating your pups might help. some bananas pup easily, some not so. and many varieties have to get to a certain size before they will pup if they are healthy.

you can increase your herd by different types of propagation, which i have done very little of.

Plant them near something that makes it difficult to remove them. You'll have more pups than you know what to do with in no time!

Because of Murphy's law, and from my own experience.

Bananas seem to pup fastest in the wet summer season.
