    Banana plants are a popular choice in planted aquariums, often used as filler or specimen plants due to their unique shape. To plant them, one-third of their larger, banana-shaped roots should be buried in gravel. The plant will also produce normal-shaped roots.

    The leaves at the bottom of the plant can grow between 15-46 cm tall, and it may also produce a floating lily leaf at the surface. When given optimal conditions, this plant will typically flower in the tank. It requires minimal lighting but thrives in high or bright conditions. Propagation in an aquarium can be done by cutting a mature leaf and replanting when roots begin to form.

    Note - this aquarium plant arrives small, typically 4-5 cm long and rarely has leaves (which develop underwater).

    There is small and then there is miniscule. This is definitely a plant that does not represent good value. The size of plant supplied and price charged would make it more valuable than gold .

    Really like these wee plants,not had them long but they have rooted and growing well in my low tech tank. One of them has just sent up a runner to the surface(20in.approx) with a lilly pad beginning to unfurl ????

    I was delighed with my banana plants when they arrived with the rest of my order, they were in very good conditions with 1 plant having 3 leaves.and the other having 2 . I put 1 in the tank with my platy fry which like to swim in about it and the other went to the tank with their parents and my rice fish, look forward to see them settle and grow now . Will be looking to purchase more ?

    Your plants will be wrapped with recyclable Honey Comb wrap - sounds cool because it is :). It interlocks which means we don't need to use tape either, reducing our impact on the environment.

    Not only is delivery fast with DPD Express but it's also green as they offset all the carbon their vehicles produce. Guilt free delivery which we're very proud of...

    We guarantee you'll be happy with your order. But if you're not, please contact us so we can resolve. We are 100% here to help and will always do our best to resolve any issues - that's a promise.
