Half per package directions works well for young bananas. These directions are based on general needs for growing vegetable plants; not specifically bananas. .... But for larger nanas and you want fruit, the fertilizer application needs to be near full requirements of the plant for that growing season. ... Also, generally container bananas tend to be smaller and small bunches. .... I don't think there is any clear directions for container bananas, just what works for someone else.
