Potted Cardinal Plant
Posted by Katie McNabb on 5 May 2023I can’t stress enough how pleased I am with my plants! Every one of them arrived quickly and in tip top shape. The cardinal plants especially looked amazing! They were so perfect, they looked fake. They arrived with at least 7 or 8 inches worth of growth and they’ve been planted for a week and they’ve already significantly grown- that’s with no Co2! Modern Aquarium is officially my go-to online source for plants!
