Re: [GSAS-Member] Banana Plant - Gone Bananas!

That always seems to happen, then it looks like a lily pad plant. I wonder
how they even get the plants to grow tubers in the first place!

  I don't know how you planted but I heard you are suppose to keep the
"banana part" of root tube above the substrate.  It usually have thinner
more root looking white root come out near the tip of banana which should go
under the gravel/sand/mud whatever.
  Also it likes higher light and warmer temp as I hear they are either
native of Florida or just grow crazy like weed at Florida.

  Has anyone else ever had all the bananas rot off their plant? My plant
looks very healthy as far and leaves and roots go but the banana looking
parts have all rotten off and the plecos and shrimp love to eat it. The
rest of the plant looks very intact though.



Any thoughts?
