Banana Plant (Nymphoides Aquatica)

The Banana Plant is a truly unique and eye-catching aquarium plant, named for its distinctive tuberous roots that resemble a cluster of bananas. These "bananas" store nutrients, making the plant both hardy and easy to care for, even in low-tech setups.

Native to the southeastern United States, the Banana Plant grows broad, bright green leaves that either stay submerged or float at the surface, depending on lighting and tank conditions. Its playful appearance and adaptability make it a favorite among aquarists looking for something different.
