This is a Grand Nain banana. Is it possible I didn't bury it deep enough and that's part of the rhizome? I thought bananas were supposed to grow from the center except to propagate, which happens beneath the soil.
The weirdest part about it, is that I definitely buried the entire root system, and this didn't start until I peeled back some dead leaf layers because I thought it would help it grow.
Is there a way I can help encourage new foliage growth instead of whatever it's doing? Haha

Your banana is becoming a forest. You probably activated growth points when you pulled off all the leaves - you did help it grow, just not in the way you expected.

I agree, it looks like your Banana (Musa 'Gran Nain') is becoming a forest!

That's incredible!

This is going to need a much bigger pot, like a whiskey barrel.

I want to know how it will fit back into the house!

Right! Sunny, pleeeeaaaase add updates of this plant periodically!
