Banana Lily, scientifically known as Nymphoides aquatica, is an excellent choice for aquarists and pond enthusiasts seeking a striking addition to their aquatic environments. Native to its habitats, this plant features small white flowers and flourishes best in open-top aquariums or ponds, where its leaves can break the water surface and form lily pads.

Key Features of Banana Lily:

• Easy Care: Perfect for beginners due to its low maintenance needs and resilience in various water conditions.
• No CO2 Required: Thrives without the need for additional CO2 supplementation, simplifying aquarium setup and maintenance.
• Root Feeder: Banana Lily is a heavy root feeder, benefiting significantly from root tabs or substrate fertilization to promote healthy growth and flowering.
