Hi
The peace lilly bulb thats sold for bettas that you simply drop it in the water and it grows is it truly aquatic plant?

I ask this as wanted a few for my tank but if its not a true aquatic plant it will die . Granted I can set it so it grows out of canopy rear but than the top of plant wont have light

Thank you

Hi Lia. I noticed that you already posted this question in another board, and I promoted your post to a Hot Topic, as I do not know the answer. If you wait patiently, you should get an answer quickly.
Meanwhile, here's a link on bettas and peace lilies. Hope this helps a little.

Lia-

As far as I know peace lilies are not aquatic plants. They are potted houseplants, kept fairly moist, but they like to dry out between waterings.

Some plants like to be kept in water to grow roots, especially those that prefer moist soil. That doesn't mean they are aquatic plants, though.

Here a little info on this:
