The plant won't know it really, the leaves will stay whole and stay in tact but it won't grow any more. It can be buried with the roots under the gravel, but not the rhizome... *Back in the saddle!*

I've had anubias plants where the rhizome rotted away but the leaves stayed alive and green. Plant didn't even know it was dead... *Back in the saddle!*
