Exclamation Red Banana Leaf Plant with Yellow/Brown spots :(

Hi, this is my first red banana leaf plant. The plant has grown 2 new leaves since I got it but both leaves developed brown/yellow spots. (The plant had two old leaves with the same issue). Is this due to too much/too little watering? Is it adjusting to the new environment? Do I need a humidifier?

Ps. I have put the shake and feed fertilizer a few days ago but I'm unsure if it has enough potassium.
Also the new leaves are very green instead of red.

Thank you for your help!!

Might be able to tell better if there was a photo. My first guess would be some sort of fungus / dampness issue, but hard to tell, really.

Which post? Where? Too many variables to answer your question without a detail description of the plant and growing conditions.

Smile Re: Red Banana Leaf Plant with Yellow/Brown spots :(

Your plant looks like an Ensete Maurelii a beautiful yet touchy plant when grown indoors.
The plant is not a banana plant but looks remarkably close.
If you move the plant outdoors in the part shade it might do better and sort itself out in a month or so.
Looks like a healthy plant that needs real sunlight and warmth outdoors.

The granular fertilizer you are probably using is well balanced for that plant and is not the issue.
