If I remember right that kit is primarily for citrus but should be ok for bananas , You have to remember she is in FL and typically our soil has an abundance of P so you should be ok . The green stuff is just time released fert . Surprisingly the kit also contains humic acid definitely good for all soils especially if you use roundup. An oil for foliar spraying dont remember what it was and a nutrient spray which is helpful for citrus not necessary for bananas.

Edit: Nope. I was wrong. " Derived from naturally occurring active carbon peat humus RETAIN is intended to be applied at the transplant stage, or in topdress applications. RETAIN provides carbon to feed soil biology, help hold nutrients in the root zone and increases cation exchange capacity."
