Non aquatic plant

[Kelp23]

Hi, I bought the plant in the picture attached last week from my LFS. I have since been told that it isn't an aquatic plant and that I need to remove it before it rots and affects my water quality. Also, I have a few plants that came in those little mesh pots. Do I need to remove the pots when putting the plants in the tank?

It looks like a dracena which belongs in a plant pot not a fish tank. I would take it out before it dies.

Yes remove the pots and the stuff that is wrapped round the roots before planting.

Dracaena like that,have been moved into the Sanseveria family. I know,but DNA and all that says those are now 'Snake plants family'
And yes it will only drown and rot underwater.
