Re: dying banana?
From the picture, it looks to me, like the soil is dry. Also, from the looks of the leaves, the brown spots would indicate to me that at one time the plant experienced drought. Thereafter, it may have been watered regularly, but in my experience, after the soil dries out in a pot, the water just runs through the pockets of wet soil to the basin, by-passing dry pockets of soil. When I discover a pot has dried out, I usually immerse the whole pot in a basin of water halfway up the pot, for about an hour, or until the the water has soaked through to the top of the soil by capillary action. This is the only way you can be assured that there will be no pockets of dry soil in the pot. When the top 1/2 inch of the soil gets dry, then start watering again regularly.
