Robby, can you see the mites on the under sides of the leafs, they are easy to see? we often have red mites...

Did you look underneath the leaves? If it is spider mites you'll be able to see them as a fine brownish/redish powder underneath.

If the temperature is cool or, if it doesn't get a lot of light, the banana isn't doing much growing and doesn't need much water. Dig down a little into the soil before doing any more watering. If it's still moist, hold off.
