Yeah last year when these spots started I thought it could be that it was in to small of a pot and not staying moist enough so I put it in a larger pot which I think actually made things worse. When I re-potted it the other day the first thing I noticed was that it barely had any good roots I mean my other bananas usually have a nice thick root ball when I've re-potted them but this ensete didn't and the soil was too wet (we've had allot of rain here in Maryland). I cleaned up the base to it had allot of I call them nubs/stumps left from where I've had to cut leaves off. I could not believe the junk that had collected between to nubs and the stem plus they were loaded with ear wig bugs. So with the smaller pot, better soil and clean base I'm hoping it helps. I did see some new root growth. I have it now where it doesn't get full sun the hole day maybe just a few hours, the rest of the day its filtered I want it to get some good roots before I stick it out in the sun all day plus I'll give it some fertilizer. It is getting a new leaf so lets see what it looks like. I think the main problem or I'm hoping was that it was just staying to wet and caused the roots to rot and maybe the junk that was trapped in the base staying wet plus the bugs might be the cause of the spots on the leave. I'll keep a close eye on it and make sure it doesn't stay to wet this time. All my other Bananas are doing fine.

Thank for the reply..
