    Sure you can. If I want to grow a drier plant in a wet environment I just put it in it's own pot. Then I plant the pot in the wet substrate, but make sure the wet substrate doesn't come all the way up to the top of the pot. We don't want the soil in our pot absorbing moisture from the substrate in the tank. This is also why your pot needs to be totally water tight, in other words, NO DRAIN HOLES! I use things like empty sour cream dip containers, solo cups, styrofoam cups (provide good insulation as well), etc etc. Just make sure you never over water your potted plants, because if you do there is no way for the water to drain off. It might be helpful to put a layer of gravel or hydroton pellets in the bottom of the cups for at least a little bit of drainage. You can hide the lip of the pot with some leaf litter or some pieces of bark, or even a vine from another plant.
