Banana leaf disease
Two of my bananas (Musella lasiocarpa and Musa basjoo) recently started having problems, especially on older leaves. Can anyone identify the problem and recommend a treatment? Here are some photos. The top 3 are of a larger Musella lasiocarpa leaf, the next 2 are of a smaller Musella lasiocarpa leaf on a sucker, and the last 2 are on the Musa basjoo. I've been watering both a lot (Musella lasiocarpa is in too small of a pot, been watering daily; basjoo has been getting soaked every other day). Also have been using MiracleGro LiquaFeed roughly 1x week for 3-4 weeks.

Re: Banana leaf disease
You're probably right...I just went outside, held a piece of paper under a leaf, knocked, and a bunch of tiny bugs fell onto the sheet. I'll go spray with insect killing soap. Although we've been dry as far as rainfall is concerned, it's been very humid and I didn't think spider mites would be a problem.
