How: Thank you for your response to my problem. You say the bananas
falling off the pod are males. I'm still not understanding completely.
How do they become females? What do I need to do to make the whole pod
females and be bananas? Is it a lack of potassium?

Hi,
If the 'bananas' that are falling off first appear under the petals of the
purple/red blossom end, they are not bananas. This link shows a banana
blossom.

Do a google image search for more.
There is nothing you can do to make the male flowers become bananas, the
male and female parts are there for the next generation but being hybrid and
sterile, most edible bananas only reproduce by offshoots. Lack of potassium
on the juvenile plants limits the amount and size of the fruit they will
produce.
HTH -_- how
no NEWS is good
