Is it possible to grow aquarium plants out of water like houseplants?

I know two of my plants are anubias but I don't remember the other kind. My betta fish died a while back. I was keeping my fish tank going for the plants. I'm not able to keep cleaning it anymore because of my back pain. I don't want the plants to die so I was hoping I could grow them out of water. ???

    No not really, but with just plants, you would need to do wery little cleaning.

    If you dont like that option, you can sell the aqaurium plants, and start a vivarium with succulents.

    It can be very rewarding and stress relieving.

    Also, have you tried a python sink attach gravel vacuum? No more lifting buckets of water. I probly would not be able to maintain my tank without it.

    A lot of them don't have the strength to hold themselves up without the water.

    Best thing to do is to give them away to someone who could use them in their aquarium.
