Please send me a message and give me a couple names of the soil, fertilizer and whatever i need to help my banana tree survive and grow, thank you

Sounds like your doing good.
Your soilless mix is a fine choice.....stop using meat moss
Your choice of fertilizer will work for you also and your new plant will respond soon.
Since you said you put the plant in the ground and amended the soil, that is the best soil mix you can get!!!
Use the search button for most of your questions.....just use key words such as fertilizer, soil,water, and read the posts.
Check out Youtube keyword" grow bananas"......good stuff there .
That will answer a lot of your questions also.......but with VIDEO.
Post a photo of your plant so we may see what the issue is.
