Default Black "burnt" edges/tips and limping leaves Musa Velutina

The first few days I got it it was sunny, I just put some trays with water near it and it was seriously making a leaf per day. Since then I got some horrible weather here (Summer in the Netherlands: 40 degrees and rain). Temperatures started dropping and the sun hasn't been seen for most of the week.

It's near a radiator (the place with most sun...) so I started misting 2-3x per day to make up for lost humidity. Even the new leaf that is emerging already has a black tip, and the black stuff is now spreading to the sides. The recently made leaves are still doing fine (although they are slowly losing firmness) but the oldest leaves are starting to lose color and limp.

Normal? Or is the thing slowly dying? It's still growing, for a normal plant rather fast but really slow after seeing the growth it had in the first few days.
