      Quality PLants

      1st time buyer (though not last!) - I ordered the java fern on the buy 2 get 1 deal. APF delivered plants of great quality that were as large as described. No pests that I could see (although I personally am ok with snails) That said I do currently have them in the quarantine tank. If you have been hesitant to make a purchase rest assured that these guys live up to their word. Even though my plants sat over the weekend (my fault for ordering so late in the week) They still arrived today looking in perfect health!

      Great quality plants

      Plants landed today and look to be in great shape. They're part of my total replant following a massive post-heat wave meltdown. I've never seen anything like it. Only remaining material from before are Crypt roots (which are all sprouting new plants.. Massive wall of Vals and carpet of Crypts completely collapsed. Big algae bloom resulted. Your Java Ferns, Vals, Bucephalandra, and tiny Anubias plants are all in. The one "mix variety" Bucephalandra drift wood piece wants to float, but partial burying is keeping it down. Combined with some LFS stem plants, hoping this will be a stable recovery. Thanks!

      Surprising

      Very clean, healthy, green plants. They deliver on the advertised 6+ leaves; although, I was surprised this meant those leaves were provided as many small pieces of rhizome in a package. This worked out fine since I was able to glue them to small pieces of lava rock to place in my aquarium.

      Micranthemum Monte Carlo, also known as New Large Pearl Grass, is a captivating aquatic plant that adds a touch of natural beauty to aquariums. With its small, round leaves and vibrant green coloration, it forms a lush carpet-like effect when planted in the substrate. This low-growing plant is relatively easy to care for and thrives under moderate to high lighting conditions.
      Micranthemum tweediei 'Monte Carlo' can be compared with the very popular Hemianthus Calitrichoides, in that the leaves look very similar and it carpets very well too. Micranthemum Monte-Carlo leaves are slightly bigger, ranging from 5mm-10mm. It is a bright shade of green and is a wonderful plant for the carpet.
