White powder like on underside of leaves

I have no idea what kinda of bananas I have. They were given to me. The started out growing great but now the leaves are turning yellow and I notices a white powdery stuff on the underside of leaves. Any help?

Re: White powder like on underside of leaves

pics please - but it sounds like it could be woolly aphid or something similar! Insecticide spray should do it!!

Pics would help but, tap some of the powder under the leaves and look at the dust through a magnifying glass. If it moves you've got spider mites and insecticidal soap will fix the problem.
