not aquatic - it will rot - rotting plant produce ammonia

soo i cant have it at all ? or do i need to have it out of the water?

 

[aaronnorth]

you could have just the base in the water, with the leaves out, it would be hard unless you have a shallow tank.

You cant have it in the water (totally submerged)

Hi,

I tried bamboo in my tank with my other plants. I thought it would make a nice contrast with the leaf shape and darker green. I don't know if I was just unlucky or they didn't get on with my set up, but I ended up composting them. I suppose it's like most plant's, some are better than others. Just to note the ones I bought were bunched not potted, may have made a difference. I have found that my potted plants have faired better than bunched esp having Gourami's in there.

Good luck

I've had bamboo plants in my tank and it was planted, I floated it until the root system took off and then planted it. It grew so well I had to trip the leaves once they started to hit my light unit, it never rotted but did really well.

so how do u think i should grow it ,could it grow in grave?
because my mum grows it on water only and it don't die?

its ok if part of the stem is submersed with the roots, but if completely submerged it will rot.

 

[TheguppyKing]

but can it grow in grave?

 

[Truck]

what do you mean in a grave?

like in a cemetery?

 

[TheguppyKing]

oh my bad i meant "gravel "

 

[Truck]

if its more than say 3 inches submersed then no, there are lots of other true aquarium plants out there

 

[TheguppyKing]

i know but i love lucky bamboo it looks cool as my main feature

 

[Truck]

it will be cool until you get an ammonia spike and then you burn your fish's gills with it
