    it is considered a bog plant. The only time you see it in a fully submerged aquarium is when its ground up and used in the substrate or in a filter bag (it's like Peat). However you may get it to work if you have decor at the water surface level or on plastic mesh near the surface. Ripariums are a great use location to use Sphagnum capillifolium
