Amazing quality.

Came in such great condition, much bigger than I expected it to be. Alive and very healthy! My betta is a happy guy.

This is a great aquarium addition!

I bought this plant several years ago. It's still going strong and has multiplied so I now have more of it in other aquarium tanks! It's durable, my fish & axolotls can't harm it, and it looks great. I highly recommend it!

Satisfied with service(updated)

I’m still waiting on 3 more plants I ordered in the same order. Other than that though this arrived fairly quickly. It was packaged in a sealed plastic bag with no sort of moisture in it, nothing covering the roots to provide moisture, nothing to weigh it down in the aquarium. Just a loose bunch. I assume if it had taken any longer to arrive it would have started to wilt. I’m still happy with it, the plant looks healthy and once slightly buried in the sand of the aquarium the leaves all stand upright. No sign of wilting or dead plant matter. The root area looked nice and strong. I think this plant will have a long life among my Largemouth Bass and Bluegill. I am a little worried about the other 3 plants and how they will fair by the time they arrive.(UPDATE)This plant is doing great. Luckily because it has a sort of root system I was able to get it embedded at the bottom of the tank. I had to move it once because where I put it initially my pet Bass had bumped it enough that it pulled free of the sand. It is nice and healthy, greener than when it arrived, and is doing well just from the nutrients in the tank due to leftover food(worm bits, feeder fish bits, bugs that get in, fish excrement) so as it is I haven’t felt the need for any sort of aquatic fertilizer. I plan on ordering a few more to spruce up the place and I do think that with 3 or more of these that fertilizer will become necessary. Especially after I had to remove the bluegill that was there after the Bass started relentless chasing him and tearing all of his fins up. Less fish = less poop = less plant food.Not related but the bluegill is doing fine in his own 5 gallon tank, seems much happier and doesn’t just stay in a corner fearing for his life day and night. The Bass was initially slightly smaller than the bluegill but started growing very quickly, seemingly a half ounce a day it seemed like, and once he was slightly bigger than the bluegill he became incredibly aggressive and violent towards the bluegill. Just for anyone curious/worried.

Beautiful

Fantastic plant, held together nicely during shipping, everything was alive and well, had good color and size and my favorite was that it was packaged professionally in a sealed bag inside a sturdy box so it had the chance to arrive safely.

Not What I Expected

The media could not be loaded. I have documented the condition of the plants from the moment that I took them out of the box right up to placing them in the tank. My angelfish took an immediate liking to them so I hope they'll okay.

Looks good

I bought 3 plants from this company at once and had a snail in one of the plants not sure what one it was.

Plant again

I bought a plant for my turtles tank and again he ate it so this is the third time that I bought them and I will not buy them again

Aquarium plants

Out of several aquarium plants that I have bought through the mail none have lasted more than a week other than this one. This is the only one that has lasted several months. All the others have deteriorated or were destroyed because of the way they packages them and sent them through the mail, but to be honest, I would not suggest buying plants for the aquarium to the mail. I would just go to your local pet shop aquarium shop and pick out some plants. You will have better luck with them surviving
