Yes, finally! I have 2 banana plant in my tank and they send floating leaves to the top. About last month, I clipped off some of the stems, about 4 inches from the leaves. I just left them floating on top. Today, I saw a couple of root sprouting from the bottom of the stem! Yes, finally, after a month of waiting! I can't wait to plant them in the gravel. Gotta wait for more roots though.

Hi ,
I am glad to hear about your plant. Hope we can see the pic very soon. See you around!!!

Can't wait to see pictures We had some in our wild pond, but they didn't survive when the whole pond crashed So we never got to see them in their glory.

i'll post a picture as soon as the roots develope a little more.


and when i got 100 post.

yes!! i finally planted the rootless in the river rocks,. i have to cut of the leave or the fish will just pull up the plant while it *dine* on the banana leaves. cute, but somewhat not cute

i'll post a pic as soon as i get 100 post, alrady got 50 post

Cool! Banana plants are so neat looking but all the ones I've ever seen in stores are already dead.

banana plants are great . if they're cheap, try buy a couple and put it in a seperate container from your fish. they usually *re-live* they're really easy to reproduce too. i have two of them

one of my banana plant, i thought was dead and it was in a large cup, and said, what the heck, and plop it into the tank, now, it's doing better than the one that was originally in the tank

try to get it, they're really nice and cool, ...... and hardy!
*look* at this below

okay, i got the pics

here are the little roots


here they are when i tried them down to the river rocks, i need more rock, lots more

I haven't seen a Banana Plant B4. I've only seen Banana Lillies. Good luck with your plant. It's going to make a great addition to your tank once it starts growing

Banana plants! One of the few plants I've tried that my goldfish didn't immediately shred. How are you supposed to plant them? Do they anchor in the gravel? I just let mine be, and the goldies re-arrange them as they like to. They're quite the little aquascapers.

yup, i just let the big "mother plant" ( the plant that actually have the banana shoots) onto the gravel in my "planting tank" and anchor the roots down wwith a few rock, a few day later, they're going their roots into the gravel . i love them so much, favorate plant
