> Dear Bas and plant-edders,
> The Banana plant Nymphoides does not produce the kind of bananas you
> eat. It gets its name because it has structures at the base of the plant
> that resemble bananas. These may be in the substrate (sand, mud) or be
> sitting at its surface. I am surprised if your plant does not have these.
> That's a very large Nymphoides - I have only seen the little ones sold at
> aquarium shops. Perhaps the large ones no longer resemble bananas?
