Beginner Gardening: Banana plant dying, 1 by calvinkrause

Hi!

I bought this banana plant about 4 months ago and it grew one leaf but stopped growing before the leaf unfurled, after about a month. A month ago the leaves started getting brown spots and then the lower leaves began dying. Even the "new" leaf is turning brown now.

I cut off almost all the leaves and I changed the soil completely because I thought I may have overwatered the plant but nothing changed. The plant has 3 healthy pups (4th one coming). Could it be dying because it puts its energy in the pups? Also, there were a ton of those small yellow liquid-filled balls (eggs, fungi?) in the soil.

So death is probably inevitable now but I just want to know what caused this so I can at least grow the pups for a long time.

Thanks so much for your answers!
