The dosage sounds perfect. I water my bananas in pots at most once every 3 days during the hottest part of summer, although they are large pots and there is at least 3 inches of mulch at the top. In the spring and fall, the potted 'naners are watered once per week. It rained very well here last week and it has been so cool that I probably won't water the potted bananas until this weekend. We are having 75+ F during the day and 40 F at night. The banana plants are still growing slowly, unfurling 1 leaf about every two weeks. Of course, I fed them a winterizing formula ...
