Great white snark
I had trouble at first with mine too. Mine eventually lost the "bananas" and rooted themselves into the substrate. Now I get leaves going everywhere. They're about 4 years old now. My loaches love resting on them
Dang Banana Plant!!!

My banana plants shot up lily pads to the surface of the tank every few days, I started cutting them off and eventually the bananas rotted but it stayed rooted and dnow it has nice small leaves on it.

I agree!!! But he has grown that little white root on the bottom left...not much to be proud of lol. Think i should trim back my horneort in this pic? Could it be blocking his light?! He is in the right, behind the crypt

Wouldn't hurt. That little root shows it's making progress, so that's good! I would trim off anything that looks dead so it can focus on getting nutrients to healthy leaves. I'd also straighten the poor thing out so it's growing straight
and then make sure the bananas are partly in the substrate.

Could try pulling it out of the substrate and floating it. If it has no leaves it probably won't float so you will have to tie it up to something. If it gets better then replant it and buy new bulbs. Mine do wonderfully just wandering around the tank.
