Default Red abyssinian banana leaves wilting

Planted in pots two red bananas in June 2019. Beautiful, fast growing. Reached 5 feet tall and brought inside for the winter. Cut fertilizer to half, and water every 3 days. Sitting in full glass office lobby facing South. Did great most of the winter growing to 9 feet tall. New leaf every 14 days. 5 foot leaves. Last 6 weeks leaves are starting to wilt and touching the ground and I have to cut them off. Like the plant doesnt have the strength to hold up the leaves. I'm loosing leaves faster than its growing them. Any suggestions or help??Hopefully 4-5 more weeks can bring them back outside in Chicago.

I'm no banana expert but I'm wondering if every 3 days watering could be too much for it being indoors if your potting mix isn't very well draining.

They are in 15 gal pots with holes on bottom and trays to catch any extra water that drains out. Soil is well draining 50% peat, 20% peralite, 10% wood chips, 10% sand, 10% mushroom compost.

Pest check.
Spider mites probably?
