N
Healthy, large, and bright. Such beautiful plants!
J
All plants arrived healthy, wrapped in heat reflective foil. The Val Americana was ok. I also ordered a mother sword plant. But got two bunches of immature swords instead. A mother plant is huge, often with attached offspring,as I have bought in the past.

I took advantage of your 2 plus one Amazon Sword Plant special and they did arrive in good shape. However, when I took them out of the shipping container I was surprised they had almost no roots, less than 5mm! Even the foam and lead at the bottom of the plants was attached above the base of the plants by about 5mm. I really hope these plants make it since they do look fantastic in my aquarium.

This company is top notch !!!
My delivery went to the wrong address and they replaced my entire order w out question.
More sellers should model their customer service after this company.

Sincerely

Say delivered, but I did not receive this order. I went to my neighbor's and no one knows anything !!!
I'm very upset b.ecause I have a new 75 gallon aquarium all set up and I was wanting on those plants !
I think I should have to sign for my delivery s from now on.
How sad that the delivery people cannot read 1633 Route 20 E Durham NY 12423
I feel like I threw my money out the window... I'm an RN/RRT and I save lives for a living. To think either my neighbors are shady or the delivery service is incompetent is disturbing on all levels !!!
After a few emails plant factory has agreed to replace my order completely.
After all, it was clearly delivered to the wrong address.
How unfortunate that people cannot read labels and are careless about other people's deliveries. If it has been the carriers package, you can believe the package would have delivered to the correct address.
Thank you plant factory and I look forward to my order . I have a new 75 gallon aquarium.
