Angry they're not gonna make it (really not a pessimist)

Hey all,

I have three baby bananas I got from A&B and they were planted a month and a half ago in pots that I know now are too big for them. They have not grown at all. One's leaves wilted and the tiny pseudostem is turning darker and darker. It's rotting! I took one of them out of the pot, cut off some big dead roots, saw some white roots (left those) and put it in another smaller pot and didn't water it. It's not fairing well.
One of the plants I got was actually was nothing but a corm with some ping growth but this hasn't grown a mm either and it tends to want to get black on top. I likely will lose the three plants and the money I paid for them, but for a last ditch effort, what should I do? Take out the remaining two, cut off dead roots, and put in small pot? What about fungicide? Do I soak them and in what? Nothing too expensive but something that I can get at Home Depot or Lowes...
Any info would be very helpful. I feel so stupid for putting them in big pots...but I mean this is Phoenix AZ after all!! Oh well...
