What do you do with an amazon plant whose leaf blades are nearly a foot long and nearly 6” wide?

Clip it, press it dry in a phone book, frame it, and bring it to work :-D

That leaf of yours demonstrates the problem. One plant, and a vigorously growing one too, takes up so much space and blocks so much view that handling it in an aquarium is impossible, or is it????????????????????????

The answer is what I am looking for from you all!:iamwithst

I have one that has been going in one form or another for almost three years now. I have cut leaves off, pulled it out and ripped it to shreds, then let it float for a while as punishment for taking up so much space. It is getting to the point where I consider it too easy to grow, and I'm looking to replace it with something more challenging.

I've considered taking it out of the tank and finding a large enough dish where I can grow it emersed. That way it can get as big as it wants.

I'd want to try it out w/ a different plant first, though, b/c I wouldn't want to kill it. It's such a gorgeous plant.
