I didn't think I'd be reporting back so quickly, but this plant
is seriously not aquatic, despite the tag claiming "True aquatic!" It
took maybe a week or two for the roots to completely rot out and die.

I've grown it completely submersed. It is a very demanding plant,
requiring very high light. It would grow well for a month or two, and
suddenly something was wrong and it would die off quickly. I gave up
after the second die-off, but I'm sure it's an aquatic plant, just an
extremely difficult one.
