Growing aquarium plants emersed (out of water)

it would be nice to have a list of what plants are amphibious and truly aquatic, and possibly some images.
Perhaps if all the forumites document the plants they have in their tanks?

 

I wonder if I could clone Java Fern successfully using this method.

It's about the only plant i really have some success with in my tanks (except the Oscar, it last quite long and was then magically gone suddenly) and as such it would be awesome if I could grow enough of them to cover some surface area with in the long term.

 

Have you tried Hornwart? It grows like a weed. And Oscars generally leave it alone.

 

@SauRoN,
Java fern can be grown emersed as well as Anubia sp.

 

@Rudi
The majority of people actually will argue with you that Anubia sp. will grow emersed. And until I actually saw it for myself at a nursery that propagates them this way, I wouldn't have believed you. It apparently starts out fairly slowly in the emersed state, sometimes taking a few months to really settle in, but then it suddenly grows wild. Your experience?

 

Amatikulu Hatchery in KZN has been growing theirs like that for years... want to add some to my paludarium to grow emersed,along with Cryptocoryne... Anubias also flowers when grown emersed...Nothing spectacular though...

 

@azurekoi,
It may not be spectacular,but you can artificially pollinate the flowers and from the resulting seeds,new plants can be grown.
I think that could be very exiting.

@Zoom,
Haven't tried Anubia yet.

@Rudi , do you have some of the ground ocver plants growing emeresed or only stem plants?

 

Wow those plants look super healthy. Is it possible to grow emersed plants with any substrate?

 

@Vis,
I have glosso and H.C. that just started to grow well.I also have some lilaeopsis sp. emersed,but also just a little bit.

@ryanj252,
Any soil that doesn't compact to much when wet will work.The trick is to keep the plants humid and not to wet,just moist.
