          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.

          1. Due to the nature of the product. We don't guarantee our plants will be pests free. ( snails, algae, hitchhikers )
          2. 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
          3. 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!

          No algae on the rhizome!

          When buying Bucephalandra from other places I had always received it with black/green cyanobacteria spots no the rhizome - I even believed that Buce are always sold like this. Cyanobacteria hinders the growth and to acclimatize the plants had always been a challenge. I was amazed by the APF Bucephalandra being completely clean, The portion is very generous, the growth began immediately. I will never buy Bucephalandra from other vendors again - thank you, APF.
