Water Hyacinth
Posted by Thomas on 19 Oct 2022I purchased this for my wife's aquarium. Boy howdy was I surprised during unpacking . That BIG beautiful plant dwarfs that 5 gallon tank. All I could do is laugh. You might want to say in the description that is plant is not recommended for aquarium less than 75 gallons. Only negative thing I have to say is one of the bulbs on the plant has a 1/4" deep and 2" long scrap. I am hope to see a long life for the monster plant.

Plant Review
Posted by Michelle on 8 Jun 2022I ordered this plant for my turtle tank and they absolutely love it! I grow them in another tank and switch a few to the turtle tank for them to feed off of every now and then. The plants were in really great shape when they arrived. I will be ordering more plants from here in the future!!!

Beautiful
Posted by Rachel Bond on 7 Jul 2020Plants came packed well, root systems intact and healthy. I even got an extra little baby one. Gorgeous little plants for a pond or a well lit aquarium with no top (which is what I'm going to be doing, after a few days already they are doing great)

This is gorgeous!
Posted by Molly on 29 Jun 2020I really like this plant. Even though there were only three plants, there were plenty of small shoots with roots.
