...Or can the bulk of the plant be in the water and the leaves sticking out? I have been told that if the WHOLE plant is not in the water that it will die BUT I cannot find any plant site that says that. I have a Sword Plant that I have in a glass bowl with gravel and 5/6 of the plant is completely under water but the leaves are sticking out...will it die?

I know exactly what you are talking about, years ago we could buy Amazon swords that were beautiful submerged aquarium plants, then about 20 years ago everything I bought wanted to
reach up out of the water, I believe they were the "Radicans" variety (a little different leaf) I now grow a plant called "Water Plantain" that looks just like the amazon sword except it is a bog plant with roots underwater and leaves out, I suspect that alot of the plants people are now buying are this, probably because its
native to US and probably cheaper ( I grow mine outside in my pond) You know alot of the plants that are sold as aquarium plants aren't, they are simply plants that can survive for a while underwater
