Default Super Dwarf Cavendish Care...

Well, now that i've id'd my musa (through the help of this great site) as Super Dwarf Cavendish, i am looking for some specifics on how to raise it!

First - i am zone 7 and intend to grow in a pot, bringing it inside for the winter.

What soil mix is best? be specific!

what type of fertilizer should i use for the winter? i have not fertilized this plant at all since i have had it, and it has done very well. in the past two weeks, however, it has started to get brown spots all over the mother plant, and the pup has taken off. both the large leaf and the closed leaf on the pup are new, but the mother hasn't pushed a leaf for nearly a month.

is it dying?

what fert for the spring? summer? fall?
