Special fertilizer/supplements for plant with fruits?
My Blue Java finally has fruits ( first hand on July 5). I was fertilizing the mat with my regular fertilizer today. Because this is my first plant with fruits ever, I was wondering what experienced banana growers do at this stage of a fruiting plant. Do you keep fertilizing as usual or do you add any extra supplements like potassium? Do you change your watering habits?

Re: Special fertilizer/supplements for plant with fruits?
I add a little potassium to my fruiting apricot trees to enhance the flavor. Would that be advisable for banana plants, too?
