I went to a popular pet store for plants for my aquarium, I seen and bought a bambo, "underwater" plant.. they explained that it was trained to live underwater, if i took a regular plant and put it in my tank it would "drown" and conversly if i took the trained underwater bambo out in the air it would die...to much oxygen... How'd they do that?
How do you train a house plant to become an aquarium plant that lives underwater.?
You can not do that with ALL plants. You best bet would be trial and error OR just buy the aquatic plants from the fish stores. Bamboo likes a lot of water..it gets lots of water in it's natural habitat.
Reply:water plants have different physiologies.. they are each adapted to their own environment. An underwater plant will not survive out of water and a terrestrial plant will not live underwater.
Reply:I think their "training" probably involved a lot of experiments as well as generations (uh... in terms of the plant) of growing them, much like how dog breeders slowly brought out the traits they found desirable by breeding generations of dogs.
So yeah, in other words, I don't think this is something anyone can do at home. At least not without a lot of work and research.
