Aside from adding color and visual life with their heart-shaped leaves and occasional white flowers, these plants can do a lot of good for the health of the water, cleaning some chemicals like ammonia and heavy metals while providing the cover the fish and other aquatic creatures need. These gorgeous floaters come with an invisible feeding ring that is auto-leveling, making it easy to maintain. Furthermore, you even get 1-2 heads of another type of aquatic plant that we think you might like. All of our plants are grown in an aquatic nursery in California, with a snail and duckweed-free environment, so we can be sure of the quality of plants we're selling to you. Review: 90% of what I got were broken leaves and no roots. - Ok so what you get is nothing like picture. You get individual leaves that look more like duckweed and I am about 90% sure the majority that had to be trashed was duck weed. The seller sends a nice little insert that talks about plant melting. Well these plants were not melting most of them were dead. The majority of them were broken or torn leaves. They came in a cup well packaged but the plant it's self looked like someone reached into a tank of water where they were growing grabbed a hand full and squeezed them really hard like a sponge. Most of the leaves look like they were muddled like mint. The cup it's self that contained the plants were bone dry. In the end I ended up with about 5 viable leaves that had a tiny root like duck weed and on with a decent root on it. And that is it. The leaves were not melting like the insert mentioned may happen and it does happen from time to time but that was not the case with these they were not properly harvested or packaged. Go outside to a clover patch and take your hang grab a handful and then twist them until they break off. You will get an idea of how these looked. I have been growing aquatic plants and aqua scaping for 30 years and never have I had someone pass off plants in such horrible condition as possibly melting I know the difference between melting and rot and while the leaves were not rotted they were not viable at all. I am not going to bother with a refund because I did not take pictures of them in the container but the attached photo are what I managed to save out of the container. Now this could just be a one off thing maybe an employee did not do their job properly who knows but as it stands I can not recommend these plants nor seller to anyone.

Received more plants than I expected and they’re all in great shape. They’ve been in my tank only a couple days and are already growing! Update: dead after 2 weeks 😭 ### ⭐ Dissatisfied *by 4***4 on 7 May 2026* Extremely dissatisfied with the quality of plant received. Everything looks moldy and dead - none of it was salvageable and don’t think any of the plants will sprout AND I can’t even make a return.
