dan, those are coming back nicely! don't look like you had much of any damage from the BFF.

here is my dwarf orinoco in a 18-gal container. you can see that the mother plant was cut down after the BFF. the pups were cut back below the ground! the mother plant started pushing out growth. then, the pups came back from the ground. the mother plant stalled. i was told that removing the pups will not make her perform any different. Crying i am sure she would have flowered this year. i am going to leave everything together and put them in a 30-gal pot.

they get full sun and looked beat up. perhaps, i need to hit them with a good dose of fertilizer and give them some shade.
