all I can say with regards to watering is.... It all depends on the conditions.... If they're growing like crazy and you can see the water being absorbed, then replenish it... If it's growing slowly and the top inch or 2 is still moist, then don't... I agree with Mike in that Overwatering is the WORST thing you can do - especially if its not in the blazing sun and intense heat. My bananas have been growing like weeds, but I have them in full sun, 90-95f during the day and 75-80f/night temps.... When the night temps drop into the 60's the growth slows down a little - So I would just monitor them.... Also, if they're potted and just dragging along, I would repot (not necessarily larger) with different soil - I did this with one of my dwarf cavendish and it took off like a rocket after sitting in that pot for a year.
