Aquarium Floating Plants Package #2, 12 Amazon Frogbit, 12 Dwarf Water Lettuce, 12 Water Spangles, 12 Red Root Floater

I titled this review, So Far, So Good, because I don't have any data on the long term survival of the plants yet. I just received the assortment 3 days ago. Each type of plant was packed in a separate small plastic bag, some included a small moist pad and some did not. All plants were in great condition, none were mushy, dried out, or looked like they were dying. Having read that some purchasers found hitchhikers along with their plants, I rinsed all of the plants and currently have them all floating in a bucket of de-chlorinated water (not sure de-clorination was necessary, but thought it couldn't hurt). I didn't see any evidence of hitchhikers while rinsing the plants. I plan to add them to my 10-gallon Betta tank today after the weekly water change. If they do well and start propagating, I know I'll need to keep them thinned out so as to leave some surface area for the Betta, but I think he will be happy to have more floating plants. This tank currently has a few regular water lettuce and some parrot plants that were in an outdoor water garden last summer, however, they are slowly declining. I am new to keeping floating plants in an aquarium so have been researching and decided I need to add a better a LED light and start adding a water plant supplement. Since this is a single fish tank, it doesn't produce a large amount of nutrients for the plants. This weekend I will be installing an Aqueon Planted Aquarium Clip-on light and will start adding Seachem Florish Water Plant Supplement. I have no complaints about this seller. The product was delivered promptly and in good condition. If the seller reads this review, my only suggestion/request would be to provide more information on the care of the plants. This would include suggestions regarding the best lighting/types of aquarium lights and suggestions regarding how best to fertilize them. I realize that lighting and fertilization needs will vary depending on the size how an aquarium is stocked with fish and other plants, but it should still be helpful to have some directions for how to care for them. I am hoping my research and reading reviews on lighting and fertilizer work out. I appreciate that so many people write reviews and post blogs and post in forums. There is a lot of information out there, but especially for a "newbie" it can be a bit overwhelming. 11/17/2019-- As I mentioned in my original review, I added new lighting and started adding fertilizer when I added these floating plants to my ten-gallon Betta tank (Aqueon Planted Aquarium Clip-on light; Seachem Florish Water Plant Supplement). All of the plants are thriving and reproducing at a rapid rate. Last weekend and this weekend I removed about a cup or so of plants to keep them from completely overtaking the surface of the tank. I wanted to post this update to my review to help others seeking more information on lighting and fertilizer needs for maintaining floating plants. The lighting and fertilizer I decided to use after some time researching options seem to be a recipe for success for keeping these plants healthy and reproducing so far.

First off, the order said that it was arriving in a couple more days, I ordered these on Saturday and they came barely two days later on Monday! Wow, talk about speedy! I got tons of plants (seemed like more than what was listed for sure) and so healthy! The last site I ordered a salvinia species from, it came in terrible condition and ended up dying despite my efforts to revive them, they told me they were a very sensitive species when it comes to humidity, so I was worried to try ordering some again since I knew they would be packed in a similar way. I'm so glad I decided to order these, everything came in so green, not a hint of rot or melt of any kind. I can't wait to see how these turn out. I've put them in tanks with some nice plant lights, so hopefully they do great :)

SNAILS!! The plants were lovely at first..... then my daughter noticed the first snail. We are certain the snails were brought in by these plants because we did not add anything else new to the tank. At first we thought they were cute and they ate the algae. Tank was clean and lovely for a few weeks and then they started to multiply. Now we are OVERRUN by snails! For some reason (not sellers fault) only one of the 4 plant species survived.... not sure how I messed that up. Overall we were happy with the plants but sad to become overrun by snails as a result.

The media could not be loaded. I was a bit worried about ordering live plants online, but I'm so glad that I did! All the plants arrived in great condition! These types of plants are hard to find in stores around my area. And what I have been able to find is much more expensive and not even as healthy as these. Plus they were snail free. I've had these plants for a little over a week now and they are still look great.

Received 5 tiny leaves. That's it, 1 ziploc bag for 5 tiny leaves for over 20 dollars? I'm blown away at the robbery that occurred here. So disappointed I will never order again. The description states various plants. I added them to my tank, they are turning tellow and dying. Meanwhile I have healthy water lettuce thriving. This is unreal.

I was really happy with these plants. They look very healthy. Each plant was individually bagged in small zip-locks, which was nice. The portions of Water Lettuce, Red Root Floaters, and Salvinia were very generous. I only have 2 "complaints." The bags weren't labelled, which isn't a big deal because the plants are different enough to mostly tell them from one another for the most part (frogbit and lettuce are extremely similar, though, so a label would have saved me some Google time). The other thing is that, even though the other 3 plants came with lots of extra, my bag of frog bit only had 9 individual plants in it. Again, not a big deal because the other plants having extra makes up for the "cost" difference, and because these plants multiply so quickly, I'll have the missing 3 in a matter of days. Overall ,a very, very good purchase, in my opinion.

So many plants for such a good deal! Everything was individually packed which was awesome so I knew what stuff was since some look similar.The red floaters did have a bit of dying roots but I hope they bounce back. My shrimp love playing in the plants. I got them to help suck out some of the tank nutrients to combat algae growth. So far I don't think they're doing much but only time will tell.

Arrived a few days earlier than the ETA. It was actually quite cold in Utah in March and they sat in my mailbox overnight around 40 degrees, so I was worried when I realized they had already arrived. But they were fine and healthy and beautiful! I was actually surprised how healthy they looked, like they had just been plucked from the water! Individually bagged and labeled nicely. I’m excited to watch them grow. My mystery snail and shrimp are already loving climbing in the roots.
