Where to find bamboo?

Starrlamia is correct. You can submerge the whole thing EXCEPT the leaves. They are not aquatic plants and the leaves will rot, die, and cause problems in your tank. However I don't think they will fare too well if you hack the leaves off. I was going to put my bamboo similar to Aokashi's but the ones you get from IKEA are about 50cm, and are quite long, so you can't put them in a tank with a hood.
