So far so good just have great Luck with KG plants
This funny little plant is the first introduction many people have to aquatic plants. As “beginner” plants they are often put in a bowl with a goldfish or a Betta, and left to do their thing. This isn’t a good home for a goldfish, Betta OR a plant! They can survive for a while in a setting like this, because their banana-like tubers are storage organs for nutrition. Given good light and better nutrition, either through the substrate or feeding through the water column, the plants will remain attractive for a longer period of time. Unlike other Nymphoides species, they will keep their (juvenile) underwater leaves for a fairly long time. Only in shallow aquariums can they grow their adult floating leaves. And to produce flowers they need very bright light. Even under good conditions, however, the cute “bananas” are likely to rot or break off after a fairly short period of time.

Arrived sooner than expected, upon planting in the tank, I broke off the two remaining leaves, I'm hoping it will recover. The Blue Mystery Snail appears to like it.
Great looking plants.
Unfortunately tbe snails love it too....
Weird and different
Awesomeness great job y'all! Got it in perfect condition💯 happy 😁
Plants arrived in great shape. All four plants were healthy, colored up, and packed perfectly. The care put into shipping the plants along with other items was fantastic. The oversized box gave the plants plenty of space avoiding any chance of being crushed during shipping.
Fast shipping. Plants look a little rough each one only had one shriveled leaf. Tossed into a tank in hopes they might come back to life. Not really impressed.
plants had algae on them and had to quarantine
Very pleased with all of the plants I ordered. Will be ordering again. Thank you!
The description fit it perfectly
The Banana plant arrived sooner than expected, upon planting, I broke off the only teo leavs it had. Im hoping it will continue to grow.
I had never heard of the banana plant before, but I think it's really neat! I have it partially buried, so the bananas still show and it looks very cool in my aquarium! <3
Nicely grown plant!
they are growing and look great.
Once again great service!
Good
The plant, bulb, and bananas were all three seperated from each other.
Plant arrived nice and healthy and it’s doing so well! I’ve had it for 2 weeks and it’s already grown new leaves.
Thriving and sending up blooms above the water line.
I'm excited to see this little guy grow; arrived well packaged and healthy.
Cute little plant, very unique looking, was packed really well. Very happy with it.
