I think your second post to this thread poses the most controversy.
Assuming light may also refer to warmth and nutrition cancels out any other problems a banana can acquire and the water is complete (oxygen too) and stress not being a factor it maybe reasonable to entertain your theory.
I must say this water deal may not be totally too bad an idea.
The pup in water I have, has showed nice roots and two lil pup.
I'll state again I separated these at a similar height and size at the same time but, the one on land has almost doubled.
BUT I drilled many extra drain-holes and..
Added a small water pump for oxygenation.
Placed in jar wrapped in fabric to avoid clogging.
This should run on solar or ac for 12 hrs a day.
I don't want to take it out of water to recover sooo
Hope this will fix my problem... All my other plants are booming in the pond= about 3'-4" deepest 2500-2800 gallons. I have raised the banana plant a little higher as you can see.
