Default How to plant banana lilies

Scientific name: Nymphoides Aquatica.

Common name: Banana plant.

This unusual little plant gets its name from banana-shaped root sections
that are used by the plant to store nutrients. These should be left above
the the substrate; the plant also produces "normal" root that will bury
themselves. The heart-shaped leaves on short stalks are 4-4.7 in (10-12 cm)
long. I shallow areas, the leaves will reach the surface and grow to 6 in
(15 cm). The plant is relatively easy to care for but may have limited life
span in the aquarium.

Maximum height: 6-8 in (15-20 cm)

Grouth rate: Slow to Medium

Area: Midground, Foreground, Floating

Light: Bright to strong

Temperatu 68-86 F (20-30 C)

Difficulty: 2,3.
