might have some encouraging news!

I saw someone's post here about the fact that spider plants are submesable, so I stuck mine in my tank, and it has been over 24 hours and my snails haven't touched it! I put hornwort in, and within a few minutes they were all over them. yaay!

also, the plant has a much nicer green color in the tank than it did outside the tank.

I highly doubt that a spider plant will last long submerged...go check with the lads at plantgeek.com.

If I remember correctly, you're doing this to attract the snails in order to get them out of the tank...right?

If so, congrats!

no.....I just want plants in my tank.

Id like to see a spider plant submerged. Pothos has been known to grow sumberged, but it propagates as a cutting in water. Too much water for a spider plant makes it rot. Just a thought.

I think if you have a big spider plant above your aquarium you could let the babies on stalks dangle on the waters surface & they would love it.
