I am seriously plant shopping this week, and am wondering if anyone is successfully growing Lagenandra thwaitesii submerged? I have seen some conflicting information in the interwebs, but I don't necessarily trust those whose primary interest is in selling the plant. Kew refers to this plant as a helophyte, typically in a marshy environ with its base submerged, but foliar growth emersed. ADA in their article THE CHARMS OF LAGENANDRA Part 1 states that "it is not suitable for underwater", so I am leaning toward that being closer to the truth (but a good excuse to scape a paludarium in the future). If anyone has experience with this plant, I would love to hear about it!
