These plants are quite popular both because they are easy to care for, and for their distinctively charming look. The banana plant’s tubers pop especially well against a black or dark substrate. They can be left to float or planted into the substrate, but don’t bury the plant’s tubers more than ¼ inch. They prefer calm water.

To avoid this, prune the leaves occasionally or plant the banana plant into the substrate.

Fertilizer tabs can be placed in the soil annually to replenish the substrate as needed. Rhizomes should be planted at a 45-degree angle and only be partially covered.
