You can have the roots and some to most the stalk in the tank. but ya not the top leaves they will rot. my wife has had a long one in here 20 gal for over 10 months. its doing great.

i think you can grow them emersed, as long as a good chunk of it + the leaves are above the water.

:iagree: I had one in a tank for over a year, planted in sand. As long as the leaves are above the water line it will be fine.

But keeping them straight vertical in sand is a balancing act. They tend to be top heavy with the leaves higher on the plant.
