I planted this giant Malaysian plantain suckling (4) 2 weeks ago in my backyard but it is yet to start growing. The other grown plantain tree has around 15 suckling clearly sprouting out but at a slow rate. I once dug hole near the roots and used fertilizer seeds on it but didn't see any result.

On the other hand, my banana sucklings are growing slowly unlike my neighbor's that are growing very fast with the leaves all over the fence.

I heard fowl or pig dump can work wonders but the former is scarce in my area. I am now planning on using pig dump

I need your suggestions pls..

Okay.
Although the fence serves a purpose of protecting from wind, it also limits its absorption, yet with enough soil to its stem,
(1) Allow it to have maximum attention of the sun (Natural) and/or
(2) Use fertilizer.
(3) Avoid clustering of more than 2 or 3.

Make do with my contribution until you have better ideas.

Should I grind the fertilizer into powder form or use it like that? What is the best fertilizer for plantain?

Nitrogen Phosphorus Potassium known as Fruit Tree Spray. Should be sprayed 4 to 5 feet away round the tree.
Nevertheless, visit fertilizer dealers for advice.

Fowl drop is enough

Cooking and eating it
This plantain will favour me and my family 🥹

Give it time. The banana suckers that are sprouting are doing well. Just give them time.

Your newly planted plantain suckers should do well. Just be patient For a sucker you just planter 2 weeks ago, it needs time to settle down and acclamatize to it's new environment. The roots are yet to hold firm. Your plants are still in a state of shock. Just give the necesary support (water and nutrients in form of fertilizer/manure) and give it time.

Work on your spacing too. I see them getting clustered very soon.

Stop comparing your plants with your neighbours own. You didn't plant at same time
