I have bamboo in my betta tank. I just keep part of it out of the water and the rest in, particularly the stem and roots in the water and the leafs and part of the stem out of the water 🙂

Bury the roots in your gravel and boom. You put a plant in your fish tank.

Not sure why someone said this is a fake plant when the package says real? It’s hard to tell if it’s fully aquatic or semi aquatic. I tried to look it up on the Petco app and came up with an anubias. If it’s an anubias or sword, great! If you don’t have aquarium glue, use a decent size rock to hold it down at the roots. Don’t fully bury the roots in the substrate. Anubias actually like to be glued to driftwood or rocks, so if you have aquarium glue, glue it just above the root to submerge.
If it is semi aquatic and it’s neither of the above, use a zip tie or suction cup to just submerge the roots and not the leaves. It will want to hang out of the water.
Good luck!

I have these and they are not meant to be submerged, I hang them out of the back of my tank with the roots submerged in the water. My lid has holes for heater and filter cords so I stick them in there
This is a real plant. Looks like a variety of dracaena. These types of plants are not fully aquatic, but can have roots in water as long as leaves aren’t fully submerged. You can buy little cups that stick to the side of aquarium or rig it up however you see fit.

i looked up this plant, white ribbon plant. this is not an aquatic plant and only the roots should be in the water.

If you’re not sure how to hang it in the tank you can look up the ways people propagate plants in aquariums or riparian plants. I use cup hangers and zipties with suction cups

I love just allowing the roots to sit in the water so they’re growing out of the tank hydrponically and it also provides a sense of cover for the fish
You buy small cups or plant holders either in an aquaculture store or Amazon and they can either suction cup or hang on the rim of your tank so that the roots are submerged but the leaves are fully out of the water

You do not plant it in the tank, it’s not fully aquatic, only put the roots in the water or it will die.

Like this, it grew a lot actually.
