Default Is it possible to overwater a maurelli?

This plant is against a west facing wall. I put it there over 2 years ago. Initially, the direct sun and heat reflected off the stucco wall was too much, causing the leaves to wilt and burn. I put up the bamboo screen that you see in the photo. The plant got a lot better, but never really thrived. This particular spot has very damp, clay soil. So I'm not sure if that's the problem.

But, the Misi Luki a few feet away really thrived in the same soil, and has 2 fruiting bunches. I just ate one banana today, super delicious.



Thanks,
