Banana Plant

My banana plant's lower leaves are turning yellow at edges and small black dots.

Disease? Winter ? Now needs a bigger pot maybe?

I have some Provanto fungus spray should I use this if diseased?

 I feed every 2 weeks or maybe 3 now Envil seaweed feed or miracle grow.

Very worried as my 1st banana plant and only bought in May...doubled in size. Leaves been like this a week or so.

Please advise somebody?

    Hello @pepesnowy
    and welcome to the forum 😊
    That looks like the gorgeous autumn colouring. Those are the older leaves so they’ll be the first to show colour change before dying back. 

    I would stop feeding now. 
    Hope that helps 😊

  • Thank you so much I can stop worrying now!

    Will be getting some fleece before the first frost to wrap it up as I live in Cornwall so not too harsh frosts.

    When should I repot into a larger pot ......now or best wait until spring?

    Recommend any decent fleece brands anyone?
