Default Re: Banana plant dying

We had some good rain this week and I've been hand watering on the days it didn't rain. No improvement yet, the next biggest stem continues to decline.





I took everyone's advice here and picked up and applied some fertilizer (10-10-10 was the closest Home Depot had), 2 cups if Ironite and about half a pint of Epson salt(magnesium). Should I add more Epson salt? I was unsure of how much to apply of this. I put down some newspaper as weed block and mulched. This was all done today. Besides hand watering on days with no rain, any other suggestions from here? I don't want to lose this stem that is leaning and looking rough. Florida gets windy for no reason all the time, if needed I will figure a way to stake it.

Thank you all for the help!
