Surfactants (very soapy water) are a non-toxic (to us) way of killing spider mites and leaf chewing insects.

The leave that doesn't look so great was damaged by me. It had spider mites and I sprayed it just before sunlight hit the leaves so it burned the leaf. It had and even newer leaf that burned completely. You live you learn I guess. Lesson learned, don't spray before or during direct sunlight hours for the plant.

Something I have noticed is that the roots of Pisang Raja do not like being inhibited and they also do not like prolonged cool periods. I hope this helps, if you want pictures I will post them.

What do you mean by inhibited? I am thinking you mean growing room, for instance my pot size. Do you know if they like the roots to go out or down? Also what do you mean buy cool, less than 60 or less than 50? I was planning on bringing it in this winter anyway. It hasn't gotten below 50 at night yet and the days are mid 70's to low 80's. I have read they are cool tolerant but I am not sure how cool that is so I am not taking my chances until I have some suckers to save inside during winter.
Oh an I would LOVE some pictures! I am only doing this thread because there isn't much information about the pisang raja.
