I got a small banana tree from the horticulture program at my school last year and it has become infested with spider mites... I mixed up some malathion at a fairly low concentration and sprayed it on and now the plant is starting to discolour on some of the older leaves

I have it in a bright window in a 16" plastic pot and its about 2.5' tall

Is this normal or is there anything I should do???

I would take it outside and give it a good shower with plain water
