Ammannia Gracilis -- Does it Grow Emersed?

[DTs]

I've got several stems of Ammannia Gracilis, and now a few are sticking out of the water. Will it get new leaves at grow emersed?

Just curious as I have an open-top tank. Thanks.

Yes it will.

This is a picture of it growing out of the top of my open top tank.

Just for the extra info, the majority of aquatic plants will grow out of water. I had glosso growing in my yard this past summer. You'd be suprised at how large its' leaves get

Curt, you be a lazy pruner

Lazy pruner= emergent plant grower

If you want to grow many of the plants, try a small seedling tray and set it out in the warm sun.
You'll have a 2 sqft of Gloss in about a month or less.

LOL

I was playing around trying to get different plants to flower. Had some pretty good luck with it too, though this one never did for me.

By far my favorite........
