Your Guide to Banana Lily Plant Care
Perfect for Beginners
The Banana Lily is perfect for beginners due to its hardy nature and minimal maintenance requirements. It can thrive in a range of lighting conditions and doesn’t require CO2 supplementation. Whether planted in the substrate or left floating, it adapts well and grows with minimal effort, making it an excellent choice for novice aquarists.
Simple Care Tips
Caring for your Banana Lily is simple. While it can tolerate low to moderate light, it grows best under moderate to high lighting conditions. You can either plant it in the substrate or let it float. If planting, ensure the tubers are not buried more than ¼ inch. It prefers calm water and a pH range of 6-7.5. Occasionally prune the leaves to prevent them from blocking light to other plants, which will also encourage the plant to produce new growth.
Easy Propagation
Propagation is straightforward. Trimmed leaves that float on the surface will eventually sprout roots, allowing you to grow new plants. This makes it easy to maintain a lush, vibrant aquascape.
Benefits to Your Aquarium
The Banana Lily not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your aquarium but also provides several practical benefits. It offers shelter for fish and contributes to oxygenation of the water, helps absorb excess nutrients with its roots, improving water quality, and creates a more natural and balanced environment for your aquatic pets.

Nothing like pictures shown and is even smaller than my picture shows, the close up makes it look bigger. Though it was green the diameter was the size of a dime, very disappointed.
