Default Re: Banana fertilizing

If your banana plants are non-fruiting ornamentals, then the 6-2-12 is a poor choice. Choose something instead with an N-P-K that is relatively High-Low-Medium such as 9-3-6, 20-10-15, or 28-8-18.
What are the most common optimum N_P_K blends for fruiting cultivars?
We've got a few Dwarf Orinocos here too & they have the irritating habit of flowering late in the season, going dormant over winter so fruit usually hangs almost a year before it's ready to chow down on.
Happily with the orinocos they lend themselves well to both cooking (green) as well as eating out of hand (yellow).
We usually leave them on the plant 'till some traces of yellowing for eating out of hand.
