A lot has to do with what grow zone your are in and what size pot and size plant you are using.
If you are growing the plant for a tropical feel for the deck or poolside a water soluble like MG or similar will work just fine for the casual grower.
Me, I use a water soluble for most containers and common granulars for other applications.
I will use up to 30+ gallons per week for container plants ranging from 2 to 12 ft tall and in 1-24 gallon containers.
I grow for foliage and the tropical effect banana plants lend to the landscape.
If I get a flower I consider it a bonus
In ground Basjoos and Mekong Giants get granular triple 19 at the moment with a 46-0-0 kicker.
There are also a many good YouTube videos with some good informative takeaways on the fertilization of a banana plant.
You will also find many folks have many different ways and styles of gardening....just find your groove.
