I just ordered a couple of these from my plant supplier and I'm pretty excited about making a quasi-carpet!

This is one of my fave midground/foreground plants. I just got one stem right now, but in time I'll turn it into a nice bush of helferis

+Vickor Gunandar They can be planted immersed but the setup will have to be humid/moist. As far as co2 goes, they certainly do not need a system to survive but their health will nearly half the ones with co2. I highly recommend co2 when buying from tissue culture packages like petsmart and such. In a non co2 tank you'll be lucky to transition and grow out 5 crowns. I tried in a non co2 tank before with t5's and ADA soil. Didn't get but i think 3 out of the whole 15 or so stems that came with the pot to adult hood. The bottom of the stems will lose leaves and they take forever to grow when replanting. This plant is very easy to maintain but can be a pain to transition and be on top from the beginning stages. This plant surely isn't on the border line of a non co2'd to co2 tank. This is one of them plants that will make you change your tank set up. Go co2 or choose a different plant buddy. You'll save yourself the money and misery of watching them decay faster than they're able to grow.

This is the best advice I've read so far. I was just about to buy this, but now I think I'll look for an easier plant for my low-tech tank. Thanks so much - I needed to hear this!

Does it have to be cut where there is a root shooting off or can you cut it anywhere, plant it and it will develop roots?

You can cut it where roots aren't develop but for this I recommend you letting what you cut to float on top of the water for a week or two. Letting it float will not completely kill your plant, and for some genetic reason aquarium plants will grow roots when you cut it even though it has none yet. In nature this is an insurance so that if the top breaks off the middle, the top will swing around the water current until it establishes it's roots and grab onto something to continue it's growth. I always let em float until it grow roots then plant it. This way you can plant it with roots. You can always plant it right after trimming it even without roots. It will grow roots slowly and take a little more time to develop it's roots. By planting it without roots, there will be a longer delay of plant growth because its spending most of its energy to try and establish a root system. (in my personal experience with pogo) Either way it can be done replanting with or without roots.
