Aquarium topper houseplants are back in stock! I ordered in types of houseplants that will happily grow out the top of an aquarium.
These plants we have available are still potted in soil. But transferring them is easy! Just remove the plant from the pot and shake off as much dirt as you can. Then give the roots (and leaves if you’d like) a solid rinse. The roots don’t need to be devoid of soil, but get as much as you can off. Try not to break too many roots, but a little root snapping is inevitable and fine. Basically try to keep at least 2/3 of the roots intact.
Then just transfer the plant to the aquarium. Try to keep leaves and the base of peace lilies out of the water long term. There is a wide range of ways to hold them up. You can pinch them in the lid, prop them on hardscape, add a hanging basket, or just bend some wire outside the water.
After that they should adapt just fine!
