I bought this banana plant last summer and it's had quite a hard time to say the least. It suffered an extensive spider mite infestation late last year which resulted in all of its leaves being cut off and its stem was damaged by the wind to the extent that it was literally on a right angle (some sellotape and a splint later and it seems to be doing okay). It's popped out 9 new leaves over winter (I have a relatively warm house in a fairly mild part of the UK) and an offset which also seems to be thriving. The only issue is that the offset is coming from the stem as opposed to the soil, which means it doesn't have any of its own roots. I don't know how or if I can propagate it, but would seem like a shame to get rid of it. Any advice would be so greatly appreciated!!
