Fanny the Follower and Mother Plant

Fanny is the small sucker beside Mother Plant.  All other sister suckers were removed and repotted.  Fanny will take over after monocarpic Mother has born fruit and declines in vigor. 

FYI, look at the size of Mother's leaves.  The silver ruler is 18" long.  The leaves are about 1.5' wide by 3' long.  The leaf rolled up in the middle has been like that for over 2 weeks.  Mother may not be getting enough light because her growth rate has slowed.
