My baby's arrival was fast 2 days from order.
I love how plants look and "feel" very healthy.
I got tissu culture cup and it was 15$ on sale from 69,99. Just great sale for best quality plants. Got a lot of plants unfortunately they didn't send me flamingo crypt that was free gift with code PINKBIRD.
Looking great and will try to put up a pic after 3 months in tank.

Planted these along 60 other plants in a new aquarium. It has been 10 days and every has been thriving
I
Nice plants

This arrived looking like the picture and they were beautiful. I had to wait about a week before planting but I kept the plants in their tubs at about 78 deg. air temp. I put a couple in my 15 gal. column tank and had to wait till the next day to plant them in my 40 gal. I don't know what went wrong but by the time I was going to plant the remainder the tub all I had were what looked like roots and stubs. I know that the leaves can and usually melt so I planted the remains any way. They have been planted better than four weeks with no new growth. Now to be perfectly honest I have never dealt withy tissue plants before so I figure I must have done something wrong. APF delivered great looking plants at a reasonable price. I plan on ordering more of these but maybe grown plants until I get more experience growing aquatic plants. I have to admit though the tissue cups seem to me a far better deal than to buy the plants as you get a lot of starts.

Hey APF
Thanks for such nice quality plant species of Bucephalandra
I attached these plants to drift wood a couple days ago so I’m waiting for results
However all other Cryptocoryne I’ve purchased are doing wonderfully well
Highly recommended for plants here atAPF
Keep on growing and keep your fishes happy
M
The cup was really full of buce wavy green. It has about 5 small sections if you split it up. I decided to slowly transition it to submersed growth and so far so good. There has been minimal melt but lots of new leaves are sprouting so that is good. It came very healthy with lots of leaves and roots, and I'm happy with this purchase. :)
