Time to start fertilizing again and I wondered what people recommended is the best for container grown plants and where might you get it from. A few years ago, people recommended in a thread Grow More 15-5-30 but not sure where to even get that. Other suggestions where people have had success with fertilizing bananas in containers?
Thank you in advance.

For ornamental bananas (seeded, inedible fruit), use a Citrus-type food with a relative High-Low-Medium N-P-K. For example: 9-3-6, 15-5-10, 20-10-15, 28-8-18.
For bananas you are growing for edible fruit, use a fertilizer that is Medium-Low-High -- and with the "K" value about 1.5 times that of the "N". For example: 4-2-7, 10-5-15, 20-5-30.
