Beautiful
Posted by Shayne on 3 Apr 2022Purchased two cups expecting to not receive that much. I had previously ordered some off another site and only got two tiny little leaves. Holy buckets! The cups were packed full of beautiful full grown plants. The roots are so long and the leaves in great shape. They even have tiny little flowers! And it’s difficult to get this plant to bloom! It’s only been a week and they are already starting to spread. Would totally purchase again! Never buying from anywhere else.

Posted by Unknown on 29 Mar 2022The floaters arrived alive and with some really long roots. They were pretty dried out but seem to be doing well so far. Overall, I am happy with what I received .

Red Root FLoater
Posted by Deb. Reilly on 11 Mar 2022Mind blown! This was my last shot at trying this plant.I’ve tried two other companies. It did not go well. When i opened that container, it reminded me of the magic scarfs. Pulled out plant after plant, after plant. Gently untangled all those beautiful roots.the leaves are this lovely spring green, and soft.put three in my 32 gallon with a lid. A 20 gallon long, i have 12ish in that one. On my window sill i have about 14ish with a little mini heater! The picture Modern Aquarium uses is exactly what you will get, but what you can’t see is just hominy are in there! That probably was the most fun order i have received to date!!
