So far so good. No hitchhikers. Look fantastic.
R
This was my first time ordering from this company, but everything came in, packaged beautifully and healthy. I left them in water for about a week before I could get to plant them on my driftwood. They lasted greatly and look great. Can’t wait to see they look like as they get larger.
K
Gorgeous little plants! Arrived healthy, moist, and green. Packed excellent. They are a perfect size for the front portion of the tank and look incredible. I’m happy I bought a few, because they are hardy and easy to care for. A must have in your tank! Thanks for excellent service!
