Tropical Fruit Care Kit
Looking at the webpage for this product:
https://shop.growscripts.com/GrowScr...-Kit_p_96.html.
The formulation 18-5-10 will have a density of approximately 0.5 Lbs/cup. This means you get about 4 pounds of fertilizer for $20 + shipping. In my experiences that's over-priced.

Further, the 18-5-10 formulation is backwards for bananas and most plants that produce significant size fruit. Here's a guide I wrote awhile back with some explanation of fertilizer choices for bananas: Banana Cultivation In Non-Tropical Climates
