Water lilies are aquatic, rhizomatous or tuberous, perennial or annual herbs [6] with sometimes desiccation-tolerant, [7] branched or unbranched rhizomes, [8] [3] which can be stoloniferous, or lacking stolons. [3] The tuberous or fibrous roots are contractile. [9] The leaves are mostly floating, [3] [8] [10] but submerged and emergent leaves ...
Banana plants should have a third of the larger banana shaped roots buried in the gravel. The plant will also put out normal shaped roots. The lowermost leaves grow 15–46 cm tall and frequently the plant will produce a floating lily-leaf at the surface. Given optimal conditions, this plant will commonly flower in the tank.
The floating leaves are peltate and orbicular. [2] The margin of the lamina is raised. [7] The lamina possesses stomatodes (i.e. microscopic perforations). [7] [8] [9] The abaxial leaf surface posesses prominent, reticulate venation. [2] In Victoria amazonica the leaves are glaberous, with long, hard spines and the underside is red.
