Lots of water, fertilizer and light.
for the fertilizer, remember that bananas are high in potassium, and
they need a source. Too much nitrogen will help to make them "leggy"
but right now, that doesn't seem to be a problrm for you. I'm
thinking that you need more water, based on my experience, and the
little information that you have given.
