Banana tree leaves turn brown! Why?
 

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.

After looking on the internet, I'm not sure it's a banana tree. It doesn't have
those palm like leaves. I guess I should take a picture of it and try to get it
identified.
