They arrived looking like mush with only a few having roots. I placed in tank anyway but none look promising.

Plants came in good condition. I think the fish are eating them. Look very nice on the pond.
T
Really high quality healthy plants. I’ve bought these twice now. However, I really feel like they could include more for the price. I’d still need to place another 3-5 orders just to cover about half my 22long tank.
S
Arrived healthy! Hoping they do well in my tank
