Plant needs well draining soil (I use cactus/succulent soil amended with pumice), and lots of light. May be watered too much. Should be 100% dry, and water when the banana starts to crinkle a little

Yes switch, bark and peat moss holds on to moisture.

I live in Michigan, temps are creeping down :(

I would then recommend a bathroom with a bright window because it is somewhat humid and bright.
