Sometimes non-aquatic plants will live for 6 months to a year before rotting. Sometimes they won't even live that long. You can leave it in the tank until it rots if you want, but just be sure to take it out as soon as it starts rotting. Alot of pet stores are notorious for selling non-aquatic plants...especially chain stores. They have no idea they aren't aquatic, but just buy what is available to them.
