Your banana plant does not like growing conditions in your house. I know none of mine like it in my house! The best you can hope for is just to try to keep it alive in a sunny windowsill. Do NOT overwater it inside! That is a really quick way to kill a banana. Wait until the leaves look like they are wilting, and the soil is very dry, to water the plant. Was your banana potted outside, or in the ground? If it was in the ground, that would explain a lot. That would be transplant shock. If it was potted, and you merely brought it inside, it is trying to adjust to its new environment. Can you take a picture of it?
