- Unique banana shape
- Easy care
- Grows lily pads
Banana plants have been a staple of the aquarium hobby for many years because of their ease of care and visual impact. The banana plant gets its name because its tubers (where nutrients are stored) are shaped like a bunch of bananas. Once established, banana plants grow both wavy, green leaves in the water and tall lily pads at the surface. When this happens, check to make sure your other plants aren't being shaded out by the lily pads and trim if necessary.
Customer Reviews
Awesome! Great quality it’s bananas!
It came with only 1 tiny leaf, but looked very healthy. It grew new leaves quickly as well as roots shooting down. And is thriving. Some leaves are red which seem normal for this plant. They don't reach to the top of the tank, but that's ok. The leaves will grow much larger than you think so plant it more towards the back and give it plenty of room. My lighting is whatever comes in the Petsmart tank kits, no fertilizer, no CO2. (Picture is about 3 months after I got it)
packed well great condition
First time ordering plants online. All I did was drop the two banana plants in and they're growing rapidly. Arrived well packaged and they were large in size.
Received a very healthy plant. It is doing great in my tank. Already growing new leaves!
