I've been searching online unsuccessfully for a list of plants that grow well emmersed.
Can anyone list the species that they have had luck with? I'm looking at the usual aquarium specimens and any others that you may find as house plants.
Any tips on getting aquatic plants to change to emmersed growth are appreciated as well. :)
 
HC (dwarf baby tears)
dwarf hair grass
UG
staurogyne repens (tropica 049)
glossostigma

i've grown these emmersed with good success. most low growing, carpeting plants grow well emmersed.
 
Thanks for the reply VNCNT.
I've started some java fern and some Rotala indica as well.
I'm looking for taller plants that will grow out the back of a tank. I thought there would be a few more replies by now.
I know of a lot of the basic ones like peace lily, pothos and arrowleaf, but want a wider selection to look for. Hydrophyte has some good ones in his posts, but they aren't all identified and they're spread all over the place. It would be nice to have a comprehensive list with photos of species that grow well emmersed.
