Are the plants out in the wind? If so, it's natural - call it the island look.
The brown spots can be from cold tapwater spraying on hot leaves, perhaps? Or insect damage? Or even some sun scortching.
Water dripping from the leaves - that can be a symptom of overwatering. My taro and many houseplants do this when their soil has been thoroughly soaked. Reduce the watering a little and see what happens. So long as the soil is moist, the nanner should be happy. As to the torn leaves - you can move the plant to a more sheltered location, or if it's inground, plant natural windbreaks around them.
Be well,
Mike

But the leaves look terrible...they are torn and spotty and to me just plain ugly. Also they are getting the brown spots on them before they are completely unraveled.
I am also noticing that the leaves are bleeding...or should I say they are dripping water from the tears and elsewhere.
Any suggestions on what I could do to help the leaves from getting the brown spots,tears and the water dripping from them?
Thank you
