Plant Experiment

[pinkertd]

I'm doing an experiment right now on a perennial plant, creeping jenny, that I took from the garden. Read that it will grow submerged. Nice plant, small round leaves, and it's been a few weeks and I'm not seeing any leaf shedding whatsoever! And the plants are growing nicely! Nice contrast plant, I have it in 2 different tanks. Anybody else ever do this?

I have tried growing it submerged in my tanks. It does survive and even grows slightly, but does 100x better grown just partially emersed. The best results I've had with it are floating a house plant pot of it in potting soil on the pond in the yard. Did the same with Water Celery. Got it to flower that way, but when it was completely submerged it just slowly died, but also grows great only partially emersed.
