He didn't say not to use a water soluble fertilizer for in-ground bananas such as Banana Fuel, just advised a slow release for indoor potted ones. I was mostly regarding the brand of slow release and that its cheap and easy to find anywhere too.

like everyone says, there is no magic button and everyone has different soils in different regions so what works for some may not be the best for others. We need a company to make a magic banana fertilizer for each region...Then use drones to apply it for us LOL
