I was interested to see on YouTube how some people grow plants in the top of their aquarium with the leaves out of the top of the tank and the roots dangling in the water. Apparently there are quite a few different plants that are able to survive and thrive in these conditions. I have made this small container up with a plastic tray and a piece of acrylic on top, drilled with 18mm holes to allow me to insert plant cuttings through so any roots are suspended in the water. I have added 2 Peace Lilly plants that were growing in compost to the tray as apparently these can be successful. There are also "Busy Lizzie (impatiens), coleus, spider plants and tradescantia.
I will update again in a few weeks to see if any have been successful.
