Beautiful, healthy plant
Posted by Caitlin E on 5 Jan 2021I have a cardinal plant before that was eaten by snails. Had to have another. I got more stems than expected, though the were smaller than I imagined they would be, they were all healthy and started growing as soon as I got them settled in my tank. Very happy with MA and will buy more in the future.

Beautiful
Posted by PRISELLA OLIVEIRA on 26 Dec 2020Came in such good condition. I will definitely be buying more of these. The purple/redness of this plant is just gorgeous. It arrived very healthy with a good bit of strong roots at the base. They were dipped and added to my 20 gallon.
