Here's my only naner, Dwarf Cavendish I assume, and it seems to be sick right now. It had some mites and I killed them off so I can't find any more of them(Fortunately, I found them early enough to win this one, but I think I should always prepare for another attack) but I didn't notice that leaves were rotting and I had to cut down all the leaves except 3 open leaves and 1 leaf that is yet to be open(which is not growing at all for 3 days). The growth has slowed down significantly(It used to open a leaf once a week, but now it almost stopped growing for last 3 days) and I found that the root almost filled the entire pot, so I think I would have to change the pot. Also, other leaves are also not in a good condition, I think it's because of pesticides, and I am confused if I should cut other leaves as well. Here are the photos:

Can you see the bottommost leaf yellowing? - Also, all leaves have some 'semi-transparent' parts.

Some red on the pseudostem, Is it a sign of rotting? should I cut down this leaf?

Here is where I cutted leaves, and there is some water, would it be bad for leaves?(Sorry for the bad photograph.)
Any tips should be appreciated.
