I have been using 16-8-24 Fruit Fuet Fertilizer from on my pot grown SDC(Super Dwarf Cavendish) and it has been showing much bigger leaves since I have been using it. The only other change I made about the same time was to move my Caven from a 16 Gallon to a 21 Gallon pot. So this could have some bearing on growth as well. Never the less the Fruit Fuel got my SDC through the shock process very well with just the loss of five older leafs over a period of a couple weeks.
My 21 gallon pot grown SDC is currently putting out 23" leafs.
The Pups(new starts) that stayed with "Caven" during the move from the 16 Gallon to the 21 gallon did not skip a beat and kept on growing without any interruption. I was introduced to Fruit Fuel at Bananas.org.
