Banana Plants (Nymphoides Aquatica) is a very unique beginner plant and gets its name from its banana shaped root system. The leaves of a banana plant are heart shaped lily pads that grow on short stalks. In a smaller aquarium, these leaves may reach the surface of the water and may grow as large as 6 inches.
Please Note: Do not plant the roots into the substrate, simply place plant on your substrate, and over time will root itself into place.
