Banana Plant (in Canada). Mother plant died a year ago in this pot, but two babies seem to be doing well. What are some next steps you suggest? Should I repot and split them up? Do you think it’ll help to have a grow light over the winter?

A grow light will be essential over winter in Canada. Keep it away from drafts as well. Mine got mighty big with just a powerful grow light in central Canada over the winter. Just need to keep moving the light as it grows taller. Not sure if you measure your light by foot candles but I gave mine 600-800 foot candles of light 10-12 hours a day.
