Growing plants above water?

[Rush03]

I was wondering if putting plants such as anubias in a pot with organic soil and sticking it on a window sill would allow it grow?

My other concern would be if the rhizome could be placed under the dirt. Thanks!

Google emersed plant growth. Many plants can be grown emersed but need a humidity controlled environment.

im pretty sure anubias is actually a bog plant tht normally grows abovewater,but will also live underwater.if thats true,then it should be fine. not sure about teh rhizome

Yeah, I thought most commercially raised plants were grown above water. Not sure though.

Most plants are grown emerged, much easier to control algae that way. I have never done it but I know it can be done and mny people do it.

Good to hear. Do you know of any references I might look at to get started?
