Anyone have any advice for my too healthy string of bananas? 😅 I love how long it’s grown but it’s getting heavy and I’m worried the stem will break! I’ve snipped off one branch to propagate in the same pot (so far seems healthy), but there’s just so many of them! Should it be pruned a bit or are they strong enough to hold all this?? It’s usually hanging, just laid out to show all the branches, and it was just watered.

It is strong enough to hold the weight, you could cut off some of the strands and lay them across the dirt on top to make it a little bushier and to take the weight off.

Thank you!! I’ll give that a try

You could try wrapping it in the pot to make it fuller and take weight off the stems? This is my SOH \& SOP
