I've got lots of paper coloured dry patches on my pot-grown Abyssinian Banana, which is kept inddors in a sun room - any ideas? I mist daily & don't think I over water: disease???

Could be spider mites, I have trouble with them in the winter when I bring in a few backup banana pups.

I have those patches also on some of my plants also. I have no idea what causes it.
I does ruin the look of a nice leaf though.

I planted my banana tree out in a raised bed this summer that had sand and black dirt(composted horse manure). It did fantastic here in Michigan. Grew 2 feet over the summer. I bought a very large plastic manure bucket and planted the larger tree along with two suckers. Every since I brought it inside, the leaves keep turning brown. New leaves come in but then they turn brown. Could it be too cold? It is dry in here due to a wood stove. I have it in front of a south facing window; but it probably should have more light. Any suggestions for me? Other than the brown leaves it looks good.
