Acorus Variegatus

[AmberMc]

I recently purchased this plant from a seller on E-bay, only to realize after purchase that every internet site I can find about the plant says it can actually be planted in dirt outside, with no water- but does best in a bog. My aquariums are far from bog conditions. Will it grow if it is fully submerged? Any chance of it ever producing this way? Thanks!

After a short google search it would that its non-aquatic.

Which would be why I said "every internet site I can find about the plant says it can actually be planted in dirt outside". Duh. I was hoping for maybe a word of experience instead of going solely off of a website. You don't have to treat me like I'm an idiot.

I think Themuleous is trying to help. I dont see any aggression or sarcasm in the post. Chill out.

I'm no expert but generally bog plants can survive a while submerged but are destined to die sooner rather than later. Plant experts may correct me on this, but thats my understanding.

It is not aquatic. I've grown in it paludariums.

Dam straight I was, sorry if you took offence, I was just trying to help.

Just came off wrong I guess - ahh, the benefits of the written word.

Indeed, oh well, no harm done
