fertilize banana??

Hi, I only have one banana which I moved with me to the new house. This banana is one year old but not very grow only 6' tall and about 10 leaves due to lack of fertileze. I'm wondering if I still can provide more food to banana at this time and expect some fruit next season.

This banana plant in clay soil mixed with compost. So far I added some banana peel, miracle grow and some 5-5-5 organic fertilize. I also have 20-20-20 fertilize for orchid which I wondering if I could use this with other plants like banana, raspberry or roses.

When should I stop adding organic matter to banana? I've read that banana will stop growing if temp at night goes below 50 degree. When should I start feeding it again and how much?

Also watering banana which I know need a lot of water so as of now I still water everyday. What is proper way to water banana for winter and for growing season?

Now about new pup, when can I expect new pup from my banana. If I mulch about 3" deep will that stop new pup to come out?
