Hello,

Most of the time, rhizome float on the surface from saturated o2. What would cause it to sink? Do they recover from this state?

A rhizome of what? I don't know any plants that sink on their own.

my fault, I was referring to a crypt rhizome.

Normally, the crypt rhizome float in the tank, but occasionally, I get a couple rhizome that sink to the bottom.

I'm not entirely certain what could be the cause of that. In any event, planting them will usually keep them down just fine. Are you trying something new perhaps?
