It gets pretty quiet here in the summer everyone is outside enjoying the good weather.
Bananas love to be well watered and fed I have slow release on them when I see it start to fade I put more on it seems fine with what I do.

Never. Plant them & remove the pups as they pop up.

I do use the pond water that has a lot of scum, algae, bug larvae, fish excrement etc...and I water a lot. Also these have been in the ground for five years now. They take a few years to really ramp up. Take a picture of yours and post it maybe I can see what you mean about the leaf/rot problem????
