Go and get promix hp with biofungicide, or Berger high porosity, or any high perlite high porosity mix for indoor growing in cool temps. The smaller the plant, the more critical the soil is. The warmer the temperature where you're growing, the more moisture the plants can tolerate.
Small tc's need much more controlled and exact conditions than larger more established plants. That's why I hate to see people selling 2-3" tc's on ebay. You might as well put an ad in there that says "If you're new to banana growing, please just donate the money to me and don't even ask me to send you a plant, since we're both wasting our time sending this out...."
