Bamboo does seem to like to have it's roots submerged - don't know if
putting the whole thing underwater would work - it's not an aquatic plant.

My uncle has a large cut-glass vase with a potted houseplant suspended in
water with a beta living among the roots - very cool idea!

Hello..

Just had a though.. I'm thinking of putting some Bamboo shoots in my
aquarium?? I've seen dry bamboo used in an aquarium in a book to good
effect, recreating a natural Asian swamp/Amazon acid pool.. Just recently
seen a home furnishing store (Habitat, a rich man's Ikea!!) selling bamboo
shoots in small glass containers.. hey, must be a kewl/trendy thing to
have
on you coffee table!!

Do you think live bamboo will do well fully submerged?? is this how it
grows
naturally in the wild??
