Winterizing Musa Basjoo

Re: Musa basjoo sick
How is your banana tree doing now? Mines seem to have the exact same Robles with the leaves now?! Although I did apply some bayer systemic insecticide a few weeks ago so I am worried about that.

Re: How often to water?
I also grow fig , peach and blue berry and plum. However those are all out doors. The dwarf banana is my only indoor plant. I took it out to put it in a bigger pot.
