Hey y'al! I want to propagate live plants in my tank and do more than just pothos. What other fish-safe house plants can be put in the tank? I know many different kinds of plants can be put in water, but I would like to know about some safe ones for fish. Thank you!
House Plants for Propagation in my Tank; Which Ones Are Safe?

I did a bit of research, and many people said that Monstera is safe, so I put some of that in my tank.
For the past couple months I’ve had success so far with prayer plants, lucky bamboo, and heartleaf philodendrons. Along with the golden pothos of course.
Any kind of Epipremnum, caladium and vining Philodendrons will do.
2 Dieffenbachia plants growing from my tank and sump, they are both about 5 ft tall.
Below a root system, for 1 of the Dieffenbachia. takes up about 2 ft of tank length
I also grow mangrove saplings in the sump, started in sand filled1 ft cuttings of bamboo logs.
After a while their roots managed to split the bamboo logs.
The mangrove pods were collected along stretches of beach, where they wouldn't get a foothold
Took about 2 years o get from the sprouting pods, directly above, to the 2 ft tall saplings in the shot above the loose pods.
