Default basjoo fertilizer

OK, after reading the fertilizer wiki i am more confused than ever.

i have been feeding with 12-0-0 or fish fertilizer 2-1-1. i have many bananas coming up from winter dormancy and i am wondering if i should switch my routine.

i prefer to use all organics ferts, but have i been wrong all along using super high nitrogen?

thanks!

If you want growth use fert high in Nitrogen but for overall balance growth of roots and leaves and not height use fert high in potasium like 6 12 27 with micronutrients.

Bananas need lots of Potassium to grow well...LOTS. They like Nitrogen also, so that's not wrong. They should receive about 3-4 times the amount of K than N or P. Of course, that's recommendations for bananas on plantations, not bananas grown for ornamental or landscape purposes that will not set fruit.
