Read somewhere that Florida's "lethal yellowing" disease that is killing many of their palms is due to lack of potassium apparently. Many homemade palm tree fertilizer recipes incorporate ingredients such as bone meal, kelp, bat guano, and eggshells. If you use a slow-release fertiliser like this, you can top up with a high-nitrogen fertliliser in the spring as well.

These fertilizers deliver nutrients to the soil, which palm trees can absorb through their root system. Quick growing leafy (and hungry) plants like your bananas can take a feed more or less every watering. Fertilizers like Miracle-Gro provide nutrients that aren't necessarily found naturally in the soil (like nitrogen), which can throw off their pH balance and prevent their roots from absorbing vital nutrients. These plants need a low amount of phosphorus compared to the amounts needed for nitrogen and potassium. The problem with organics is some species are particular in their nutrient requirements and even the ratios of nutrients can be important.
