Casual aquatics Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 Just now, Charose did you bury the banana? Technically just put inside the lava rock to try to keep it in place a detour oscars from up rooting it but it did eventually gather sand and dirt in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The nano tank man Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Its probly bot the best idea to hurry the banana plant. I love the look of baba plants in my goldfish tank. Also bannana plants can vary in size. Some are large others are small. But I woudnt hurry the roots on the plant as they may rot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casual aquatics Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 Wasn’t trying to hurry the growth. This plant is about 4months old. Bought it from aquarium co op. Just wasn’t sure what they max at and if you can re plant a stem&leaf to grow a completely different plant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have it propagated like this before: I wouldn't replant it though, I would let the leaf and stem float until roots developed. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggie Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Some day I want one of those!! But I need to catch up on fish first - I've probably spent 5x more on plants so far, with limited success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying this, although my leaf looks different from yours. I cut the stems back a couple of days ago and today, while cleaning up, I picked up the dried stems and didn't recognize them. Honestly, I thought they were broken rubber bands at first. But when I examined them, they were tough, like a fiber. Got me thinking what a person could do with something like that. Maybe make small baskets? Dunno. I'm not a crafter, by any means. But these stems are v. cool.
