Must have been a bad batch.
The product I received had more dark purplish/blackish leaflets than green. Not sure what happened. The roots that the plant is known for were not present on any of the leaflets. I can understand that, but was totally disappointed when I looked at them. Within about two days all the leaflets were sad and quickly becoming more discolored. I have healthy salvinia minima and wisteria floating without trouble. My lights are on a timer and I dose with high quality plant nutrients. My tank is planted with a wide assortment of rotala rotundifolia, red leaf ludwigia, and a host of stem plants requiring ample iron. Ultimately I just wanted healthy plants. My tank is incredibly well balanced with a good bit of pearling on the leaves of the plants in the substrate. Absolutely no reason to have such deplorable results.Water temp 81°FpH - 7.2dHG - 19Chihiros WRGB II SlimKH - 4Injecting CO2All of my other planted and floating plants are thriving, so this has to be an anomaly. A shame this one was a complete flop. The floaters that sank gave my opportunistic mystery snails and clown pleco extra nutrients. Small win. 😉 Won't be buying again.

Very pleased.
I always read reviews before purchasing. This seller I feel doesn't get enough credit. I was very pleased with the quality of the plants as with the quantity. I read people saying they didn't get 10 plants. I got a bunch of 'clusters' and then some. I have a 30 gal long with kulhi loaches and a king plakat half moon betta. I did have very little duckweed. And one small snail that was dead. But as anyone who truly keeps fish and has aquariums. They know you soak the plants before adding to aquarium. I didn't have alot of duckweed very little mixed in. But again I got a shallow wide mouth container filled with water and took the time to 'sort and search' for 'any unwanted guests.' Very pleased good healthy root system. Did purchase in winter leaves a little wilted but perked up within 48hrs.

Delayed shipping leading to dry and dead product
Shipping was delayed by about 4 days. When the product arrived, it was almost completely dry and had dead leaves on it. I’m hoping I can salvage what little is left of the plant

Completely Melted and Wrecked my Aquarium
I ordered two pots of 10 plants and a week later, they have completely disintegrated and left absolutely wrecked my aquarium. One of the pots of plants arrived with the plants dry and wrinkly and was pretty much dead on arrival. Both pots of plants did not contain "clusters" of leaves. Almost all of the leaves had separated from their groups and what I actually got was a mess of individual leaves that may or may not have their own roots, so I had to spend an excruciating amount of time picking through a leaf at a time to separate leaves with roots from their rotting counterparts. After spending forever doing that and finally getting them in the aquarium, I found that every single day there were more and more that were just turning to mush and disintegrating. There were globs of roots at the bottom of my aquarium and all of my other live plants were coated with a dusting of dead plant mush. Seven days after putting the floaters in, there is nothing left and I've had to spend a massive amount of time cleaning my aquarium to get it back to normal. Complete waste of money. No plants survived.

Rough and require cleaning
Plants seem ok, no water in the bag they were shipped with, so a little dry.Very tangled, messy, and full of gunk. Put in a container and see lots of gunk and what appear to be baby snails.The plants were good sized and some had some very large and strong roots. Overall ok, but will investigate other options if I need to purchase again.

Good deal!
Bought 10 live red foots, got way more than 10 and they are very alive and worth the money! Shipping took about a week. Plants still arrived in great condition! Plants came in plastic cup, all placed in there with care. Will purchase again!

Impressed
These plants arrived two days late, so I didn’t have high hopes.(also no fault to seller, it was due to the local post office staff shortage) but the plants arrived alive and very bright red in color. The roots are absolutely beautiful and vibrant. The tops are even starting to flower. My batta fish and shrimp love them. Based on the mixed reviews left by previous buyers, I wasn’t expecting a lot. But I was pleasantly surprised and would chance buying from them again.

Dead on arrival poor quality
Immediately noticed that all of them were dead and or dying, roots are all dark brown, many of the leaves decaying and rotting. I put them into quarantine with fertilizer and a pinch of azolla, to keep the duckweed that hitchhiked along from taking over. I’m pretty sure what was still alive will be beyond saving. Save your money and get from a supplier that grows indoors in tanks, not outdoors in ponds. I was pretty shocked by how poor of shape these arrived in.
