Hello everyone I am new here and I need a lot of help to learn about growing bananas. I live in Canada so mine is inside atm and suffering

(

My nana is about 4 feet high has about 7 leaves 4 of which I had to prop them up using sticks besides seems the stems always bend and breaks?

My question is how often should I be watering a banana it's in a 10 gallon pot, do I leave it until the soils dries on the surface AND down below or am I supposed to keep it moist at all times? I am thinking maybe my stems are bending and breaking because of too much water maybe? Should I just cut off those leaves? When I water it how much do you think I should give it at one watering do you deep water them or just give them a little drink?

Yeah I know that is more than one question LOL.

Thx in advance
