I just hate to see my beautiful plants die without producing.

You cant turn the leaves that have gone yellow back to green, but you can make sure any new leaves stay green by keeping the temps that I mentioned if you can afford to,When you grow nanas in winters, which lack heat or are cold, freezing temps then you can forget about trying to compare cost to store brought bananas, for me its about novelty of growing these beautiful perennials, if I get fruit its a bonus.
