WHAT WE CAN'T GUARANTEE
Even though our plants are very clean, but we can't guarantee they will be 100% pest-free because we cannot be responsible for your aquarium. Please use it at your own risk. We recommended all customers rinse the plants with clean water and quarantine them before use.
However, plants in tissue culture will be 100% free from pests, algae and never have been contacting with any aquarium.
- Due to the nature of the product. We don't guarantee our plants will be pests free. ( snails, algae, hitchhikers )
- We don't guarantee our plants will be free of pesticides. We use homemade, organic pesticides in our greenhouse to control pests. We do not use pesticides that contain copper. Copper is toxic to invertebrates such as aquatic snails, crabs, shrimps, etc
- We don't guarantee your aquarium success or are responsible for your aquarium inhabitant including but not limited to fish, shrimp, snail, turtle, etc. So please quarantine all plants when use!
- Unless specific, we don't guarantee aquatic plants will be grow emerged or submerge.
Please review your state's regulations on restricted plants, as we are committed to not shipping plants that are restricted in your area. Do not release any plants into the wild or waterways, as this can harm local ecosystems by introducing invasive species.

Plants arrived quickly and very healthy. Tissue culture plants were bigger than expected. Would definitely order again! 👍
T
Great quality, healthy and beautiful plant!
C
The Bacopa Moneywart looks beautiful in my tank. They're a nice size for tissue culture plants, taller than I expected. My previous order of TC plants from APF never melted! - which is really unusual and was such a relief. Fingers crossed these will be the same, but if they do melt a little I know it'll be ok because they started out so healthy.
T
Grow well and great in my low-tech tanks. My order looked way smaller than I thought it would when it arrived in a small well-insulated little package (my first time ordering plants online), but it was a pleasant surprise when I got them all unwrapped. All super healthy and I didn’t find any snails.
M
They didn't come super clean and one stem even rot right away (rot, not burn) and my snales won't even touch it. For the rest it was fairly easy to separate and plant the stems. Now im just waiting for my tank to cycle and the plants start to lush up.
K
These arrived bright, healthy and well rooted. Much better condition than I have received from other sellers! Outstanding!
