I have a banana plant in my 120 tall. When I first got it, it was in a 50 gallon freely floating around the tank at different levels and places in the tank. As a result (at lest I think so) it has developed roots, not the "bananas" at the bottom and extremely long stems for the leaves. Tallest is about 2 feet with the other about 2.5 inches shorter.
Could this be from a lack of nutrition from freely floating around in the other tank? Has anyone else experienced this with their banana plant? I am currently dosing CSM+B and KNO3 in the new tank with just a shop light up above with two GE plant/aquarium bulbs. Not the best lighting but it is working and the plants are growing for now. Would it be ok to snip these roots that have developed or will they go away with time? I've never had a plant like this.
Most places I read say this plant should stay around 6", mine has quadrupled that!!
Here is a pic for reference. It's in the middle, and the top leaf was damaged a little during the transfer.
