Only my ice cream is in a location that receives full sun and doesnt have that much humidity.
The basjoo, dwarf namwah and dward orinoco have full sun 70-80% of the day and are inside the creek so they have more than enough humidity and i have installed spray type watering for all them.

Ideally bananas like the PH of 6.4 - 6.5 .... I use vegetable type fertilizer and then add chicken manure (not litter) for the extra nitrogen needed. You can buy the micro elements separate (tomato tone, ect) if you have alot of manure to use. ... I try to push my bananas with as much nitrogen as they can stand (leaves not curling) so watch the leaves.
