Default Pot Size?

How do you know when your banana plants need to be up potted? I have two that are a couple feet tall in 8" pots and another in a 12" pot. Is there a chart that shows plant height VS pot diameter?

All I know is last year I had a flower on Musa 'African Red' in a ten gallon pot and ten Gallons seems to work well for most of the Summer for other Musa. I'm moving up to 25 gallon pots this year for larger Musa and Ensete. So for me ten gallons for Ornata types works and I think the bigger the better for larger Musa.
Good Luck
Steve
