Aquarium Advice FINatic
As I am getting familiar with the world of planted aquariums I am shocked to learn that many plant vendors sell plants that will never survive under any conditions in an aquarium. Am I the only one that has been duped into buying plants to watch them slowly rot in my aquarium?
My latest was a Dracena Sanderiana. Looked cool and thought it would be neat to have a bit of white in the aquarium plant life. Well, I have been watching it slowly rot in my aquarium until I found this great website that has started a list of NON AQUATIC PLANTS:

As I was looking down the list, I see a number of plants that I have tried in the past and thought that I just wasn't doing something right.
Sure seems boarder-line illegal to sell an item as a aquarium plant, when it is in fact not and can only die. Has anyone had luck actually getting any of these kinds of plants to work in an aquarium?
