OK, I guess.
Plants were mostly alive when delivered (one moss-like plant was dead), and not as healthy as shown in the picture. Also, the plants that I received were not the same species as shown.

To my surprise they actually look really good most of them
Plants came in today. To my surprise they actually look really good most of them. Seeing that they came all the way from California to North Carolina in 4 days. In a small box no bigger than my cell phone in an airtight plastic bag with little moisture. They survived the trip to my satisfaction. Will update after planting them in my tanksUpdate added pictures of plants after putting into tanks doing well two days later

Bad Idea
Ordering live plants from Amazon seemed to be a good idea to me, but unfortunately it did not work. I chose this way because it was a) cheaper than in PetSmart, b) a lot (25+ stems). I received the plants and they were so stressed but let me go into details:1) Hornwort - one of the easiest freshwater plants. I remember I was throwing out a lot of Hornwort every week because it grows so fast. The leaves of Hornwort I received were reddish, meaning the plant was growing in a lack of light condition. As soon as I put it in water most leaves of Hornwort were falling down. And this species of Hornwort was the one that is not shown on the picture. This one was heavy and not flowing on top of water as the one shown does.2) Songrow. Like Hornwort it is fast-growing easy plant. You cannot make mistake to kill this one, but I got really sick Songrow stems. Leaves were so small that again shows that conditions it was cultivated in were so bad and transportation just killed it completely.3) 25+ stems - yes, but mostly it is Hornwort and Songrow, the cheapest and growing fast plant as I mentioned before. All other stems you get will be in quantity one. And if this one dies you have one specie less.4) Unfortunately, after just a week I lost most of my plants. Considering quite expansive shipping it does not worth it. Sorry, guys, I really wished to like your service.

Pleasantly surprised
I ordered this collection of plants, and had read the reviews ahead of time, so expected some snails, and wasn't sure about the plant quality. I am impatient by nature, so opted for the expedited shipping. My plants arrived in 3 days. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice they looked. I checked them over for snails, saw none, so rinsed them and planted them. I left the anchors on all but the anacharis and the sword.It's now a week later. I have since found some snail eggs, but I'm okay with that. The sword had one leaf fall off, but it currently has new leaves forming. The plants have grown quite a bit in a week. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Wonderful Plants, Super Fast Shipping
These plants are wonderful! my tank went from dull to amazing with this one purchase. I did rinse them when they arrived (a day early at that) and did find one snail but after rinsing and installing I have seen no signs of any snail activity. I have a 30 gallon extra high tank with a Finnex Planted Plus 24/7 with florish fertilizer and the plants are doing great. The hornwort has already grown about 4 inches in less than a week. I have a feeling that I am going to be able to propagate these plants into others in the future and even fill out this tank a bit more. So much nicer than having fake plants in my opinion.Update after a couple months. All the plants are thriving and doing great. I couldn't be happier with the value of this product.

Great quality plants, low maintenance
I was skeptical about buying plants for my 55g aquarium online. They arrived quickly and well packaged with a note from the seller (thank you, I liked the personal touch). It has been approximately one month since purchase. All plants are doing very well.... the hornwart is growing like crazy under nothing more than LED lighting. The amazon sword and anacharis are very healthy and flourishing as well. The cryptocoryne is alive, but it was small to start and hasn't grown much. Unfortunately the moneywort and ludwigia are getting picked on by my barbs. (No fault of the plants) I know the description says perfect for 10g aquariums but I would recommend this set for larger tanks. I was able to spread them out upon arrival and have since spread the hornwort again. Definitely recommend!

Excellnt healthy plants.
My experience with this selection of plants is very positive. The plants arrived looking as if they were just packed. They were all green, fresh and healthy looking. I soaked them over night and had no issues with snails or parasites. I have planted them in my aquarium and I expect that they will thrive. This order was my first experience for ordering plants via mail. I recommend this plant package to any one who wants to try mail order plants. I will order another of the larger packages for my next tank.

Awesome!
Sooo happy I got this plant package! All arrived REALLY fast. They were in California (from what tracking said) then suddenly the next day were already in Louisiana where I live. Unfortunately it was a Saturday and I didn't see the attempt of delivery at my workplace quick enough so i had to wait until Monday to get them planted! Despite this, they were all very green and healthy looking except for the hornwort, but I think it will recover! I haven't seen any signs of snails which is a bummer because I kind of wanted them. I hope these plants take off in my setup!

Very happy with my purchase
I'm currently a college student, and as much as I wanted to make a full aquarium here, it just wasn't practical. So, I did the next best thing. I made a jar-aquarium: a jarrarium. I got a two gallon jar and am going to fill it with these plants and some shrimp.As for the plants, you can tell in the photo that they are EXTREMELY green. I see no torn leaves, and to me it looks like more than what I paid for. Also, I love how they included a little note giving you some starting advice for the plants.Did not receive any snails (sucks cause i actually wanted some lol) from what I can tell, maybe they'll come out when I put them in my jar.Will definitely be ordering from this seller again in the future.

Huge growth over 1 weekend
This is the first time I've ever done a live planted aquarium. It's only a little 10 gallon but I wanted a REAL natural aquarium, and not a child's aquarium (fake plants and gaudy/bright decor, etc.)I honestly have no idea what plants are what. I didn't even know where to begin. Luckily I found this listing doing that work for me.I ordered these just in time to get hit with a polar vortex in Wisconsin, and regardless of waiting on my porch in 20 degree weather for about three hours, all plants were alive and well.I rinsed them off in room temp water and planted immediately into eco-complete substrate in a 10 gallon, unoccupied tank and wished for the best.It's been only 3 days and my plants have exploded. One in particular, but I don't know the name of it, is 5x the size. It's one I thought was smaller so planted in front, but has fanned out a lot and is reaching the top of the water. Two of the back plants have already reached beyond the water line and continue to grow. Only 1 of the plants is looking a bit weak, but perhaps it is fine and just hasn't adjusted as quickly as the others.Overall this is a great value. Had I shopped local chain pet stores, I probably would have been looking at around $50+ for live plants, and they would have been smaller and in questionable condition.My tank shown is a 10 gallon tank with eco-complete substrate, untreated tap water (sat with the substrate only for about 72 hours before planting), a tank heater to maintain 78° (it has stayed around 76°), sponge filters, and bright LED lights.It will eventually be home to some shrimp. Was waiting to establish beneficial bacteria and the plants.If these plants continue to thrive as they have, I have a second 10 gallon I'm planning to set up and will separate some of the stems.Before photo: 11/8/19After photo: 11/11/19

Better than I expected!!
I received all six plants promised and all except the crypts look great! I am a bit put out by how small and wimpy the crypts look, which is why I took off one star, but they still look healthy so I'm hoping they will recover and start some new growth. There was a bit of melting on the clippings where the metal clasp was but it was easily cut off with no issues! Overall the plants look great, completely fill up my 10 gallon the way I wanted them to, and my fish and shrimp love them! Especially Freckle the Betta lol. Would def buy from this seller again (although I will say the shipping company didn't scan the package on delivery, so the plants sat in my campus package center for over two days bc tracking just said it was "out for delivery" not that it was actually delivered, but the plants look great anyway so I'm not hung up on it lol). No snails that I could see!

Nice plants but there are snails
I like the plants, they came packaged well and are for the most part healthy. One had some rotten leaves but not many and otherwise are in good condition. However the day after putting them in i now have a few tiny snails and everyone knows if you see one there are hundreds more. They're gonna take over the tank in no time so I will now have to look into an assassin snail and I didn't want to.have to deal with that yet as I'm just establishing this tank. I didn't want to have to spend money to fix a problem with a product that already cost enough.

Awesome product!
The plants showed up in great condition! They were all green and lush. It was a few stems shy in two of the species, but there was a couple extra in other species. The seller sends a nice little letter with them give you a short run down of what to do when you get them...I would suggest them adding a page or two to I.D. each plant though. I had a heck of a time skimming the web to find out what was what! As far as I can tell there was no "hitch-hikers" or pests... Just set the tank up yesterday when they arrived though, so time will tell! In my opinion this is a good buy for the price! I'm going to add a pic of the plants in the tank to show how lush they are... I will definitely buy from this seller in the future!

Just OK
I purchased these plants to put into a new tank I had set up. It took about 4 days for the plants to arrive and by the time they got here most were brown and very sickly looking. I don't necessarily blame the seller for the long ship time as I do live in a pretty rural area. However, it is very apparent by my address and I feel a better shipping method could have been used to ensure faster delivery.Upon arrival I promptly planted what I could into the tank. A few days later, only a small amount of the plants are still alive. Most of what I did get into the tank disintegrated and those that are still alive are just barely so. I did purchase other plants from a different seller and they are doing amazing, so while maybe my tank isn't 100% perfect, these are beginner plants that are supposed to be easy to grow. Kinda hard to keep them alive when they are pretty much dead when they arrive I suppose.I still gave three stars even though most of the plants died because I would like to give the seller the benefit of the doubt due to my location. I understand the difficulty of shipping anything alive, especially long distance. I do appreciate that they even attempted to ship to me, considering. Those who live closer to the seller might have better luck.

Ok product
Shipping was fast! I didn't receive the crypt, only got 5 plants. My Amazon sword had 2 leaves ripping off and one brown one. So I trimmed them off and there is just one leaf, but new leaves should sprout. Everything else was fine. I did a peroxide wash and had a bunch off dead bugs and some worms. No signs of any snails yet. 4 plants out of 6 are not bad. I just wish I would've received the crypt. I have a 30 gallon I put them in and it's more than enough due to some of these plant grow extremely fast
