      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!
      4. 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.

      Completely Disease Ridden

      All 3 pots of Trident I received were completely disease ridden plants in incredible poor condition. The company has done absolutely nothing to correct this issue, offering no solution. $32 and I feel like I've been robbed for my money!

      1. The customer didn't follow our terms and conditions.

      2. At first, the customer emails us a picture of all the plants they received along with the packing slip, showing that all of them are in good condition and accounted for. The customer's original question was why they didn't receive a free plant in their order.

      3. We check the order and find out that the customer didn't follow our buy 2 get 1 free policy. We explained to the customer that the buy 2 get 1 free promotion is only valid when they purchase two same plants. The customer is very angry and said our policy is unclear even though we have clearly stated the policy and details on our website.

      4. Customer threatened us with offensive words and strong language. In addition, she told us she would tell other people to stay away from our business. She even told us she would leave as many negative feedback on social media as she could to harm our reputation.

      5. Later, the customer messages us and sends some pictures of the damaged plants. However, they are not in our original packaging and tell us the plants are damaged even though they did not mention any damaged plants at all in the first conversation.

      6. Our team compared the original picture provided by the customer with the new photos of the damaged plants. Because they look nothing like the original picture that the customer provided in the beginning. It is our firm belief that the new pictures of damaged plants are not representative of the original plants or the way our plants arrived.

      7. We asked the customer several times for additional proof of the damage in our original packaging but they refused to cooperate and repeatedly used abusive language toward us.

      8. One of the most frustrating things is that our IT service caught the customer red-handed when she attempted to leave 1-star reviews on our site under another name and email address. The customer even uses a picture of a damaged plant found on the internet to pretend it is our product. The customer is committing online defamation, as we have evidence of her IP address and the URL of the fake pictures she took from the Internet. If required by law, we will release all email conversations and evidence so everyone knows the truth.

      9. While we are always happy to assist any customer with resolving a problem. This customer keeps using foul language which left us with no alternative but to end this conversation.

      Great plants + absolutely great customer service

      Purchased several plants and they were all packed very well individually in a separate bag (unlike other vendors) with care. Quality was great and one plant had melted and they issued credit right away with the picture. Customer for life. Thank you!

      Picture on website doesn't do justice

      The fern arrived lush and green. Size of the plants look better than the pictures on the website.
