Ludwigia red skeleton

Received generous portions in both orders. Very nice stems with healthy roots. Looking forward to watching it mature.

Love!

I was nervous to purchase plants online. I researched many plants and many different sites before I finally just ordered. I’m so glad I did! This plant is pretty! It was packaged beautifully and I got several rooted stems. The plants came in a sealed bag in a lined box. Healthy and clean. I’m very excited to see these plants thrive. This is my first attempt at a planted tank and I’m so glad I found an excellent place to order plants!!
