Bought A Non-Aquatic Plant-Need Help

So my wife brought home an Aluminum Plant, which is a terrestrial plant. Yeah it looks good in her tank but I know it's going to die if not transplanted. My question is this. The plant stem seems weak from being supported under water so long, how do I go about putting it into a pot? Just set the roots in loose potting soil and support it with some sticks like I would for tomatoes?

I have a spare 10 gallon tank and a bag of potting soil. Would this thing do well if I were to make the 10 gallon a Riparium/terrarium setup?

how tall is this plant?

could do a few things...use the tomato type thing stick or net

could cut it down and let it regrow under gravity

IMO, any plant that goes back and forth between air and water will have some sort of die back. Expect some to happen

Again IMO, it is over kill to setup a terrarium for this plant.
