interesting looking plant. what is that banana thing? root?
Thanks for the pictures and list of responses from that first link. I was told that the banana part is not the root. That is the reason I want it most.
it's really interesting looking plant, unique name too. first time coming across it. Wonder isit available in our LFS?
Fatherhood - The most challenging role a man can take on but, funnily enough, the most fulfilling too.
Used to be quite common once.. but not nowadays.. maybe some farms like Teo's.... quite easy to grow... the 'bananas' should not be buried - real roots will develop and anchor the plant by themselves.....
the plant will tend to grow floating leaves if left by itself... but if you keep cutting off the long developing stems before they reach the surface, it will change its mind and develop shorter, round submersed leaves instead.
Gonna pickup 2 today. Hope they aren't too much maintanence(sp).
I usually see it at C328 and Teo's. My wife finds them amusing for some reason. Are they really short lived as claimed?
I hope I can propigate them, otherwise may be a poor investment. Got 2 today.
