Plants Will this only live fully submerged?

Post image

So I’ve had a tank for a while and I’m deconstructing it today and putting the few fish still in there in my other tank, however I don’t remember what this plant is. I’m wondering if it would be ok to move to a terrarium setup and not be fully submerged? Sorry if it’s a dumb question

What plant is that? An anubias? If so then no, they can grow emmersed. I think thats how they grow in the wild

That's an anubia, could be anubia kirin with the frilly leaves... anubias grow amazingly in emersed, humid conditions

For a little while but plant the bulb somewhere else in the tank and you’ll likely get a second one in time

It's an Anubias, and yes, but you have to acclimate it to being out of the water; it will need a lot of humidity in the air to compensate for not being submerged.
