Where did you get your plants from? Sounds like they are tissue cultures if they are only in a one Gallon pot. Be very careful with not to overwater and I would only use fertilizer after they start to show new growth. With the compost and worm castings and the Ocean Forest Soil they probably were already in a very rich soil (if not too rich for a potted TC) soil.
Good luck, hope they grow and fruit fast for you.

Since this is my first foray into growing bananas, I've tried to soak up as much info as possible. Any advice for a newbie would be greatly appreciated,
I'm in Nor Cal and the temps are still hovering in the low 90's so I plan to keep my plants in the shade for awhile and well watered. I did add a little all purpose fertilizer for good measure. Hopefully, none of my efforts will be detrimental to my babies.
I'm excited to show (hopefully) that bananas can grow and fruit in my area.
