I have a banana tree growing in a pot. It's about 12" high. After the
new leaf matures, the tip turns brown. And I don't mean just the very
end tip, it's about 1/4 to 1/3 of the end of the leaf. How can I
prevent this?

Indoors?
Outdoors? If outdoors, what area?

My first thought would be cold or even frost, but all my bananas grow
outdoors in Central Florida.

Bananas are sensitive to lack of water . Trim the brown leaves off. Water and
fertilize. It will come back. Bananas are not really container plants, you
know. ;-)
