Tiny Black spots on Leaves, and pseudostem. Help?
 
Hello,

This is my first post on this forum. I am also new to growing edible Bananas. I recently purchased a couple of pups from the internet. Some are from tissue cultures, and some are pups. All of them are very young, and recently transplanted into pots. They have recently developed tiny little black spots on them, and it worries me that it may be Black Sigatoka. Upon looking on-line, and here, I can't seem to see any images that resemble what I have going on. Most internet pictures for Black Sigatoka seem to be radically infected plants. Could any of you tell me what is going on with my plants? Thanks.

looks like normal over winter bs plus maybe the start of some type of spider mite etc.
mix a bucket of warm water and insecticidal soap or/and neem oil, gently wipe both sides of the leaves a couple of times a week or so apart.
Your just keeping them alive til spring, can't expect too much in winter.
you should be fine
