The plants arrived light green and yellow with little to no roots. However there was a lot of propagations in one culture. I've planted them all hoping that a handful will survive and grow. 3/5 stars because the portion is generous for the price and they weren't completely dead, but who knows if they'll be successful.
A
Arrived after only 4 days to Hawaii. Little necrosis around the edges of the bunch but after trimming looked like it was never shipped. After 7 days, no transplant shock, and tissue culture conversion to submersed form is not detectable (yet). All in all is the second flawless order from AQF. Satisfied customer.
C
Arrived very green healthy beautiful, and flowering. No yellow leaves like as shown in the ad picture
W
It’s a big healthy cup! For my 5 gallon tank, I probably just need half of the cup! Will definitely buy more from this seller.
A
Each cup I received had about ten smaller plants in the cup. Maybe one or two dead leaves but quality was amazing! Highly recommend.
Z
Although the package was late for 4 days, they are still in good condition. Not lucky for the bunck plants. I prefer to buy tissue cup next time.
