They are doing good and the other plants I got from you guys are doing well too.
I’m the guy that kills buces. Either I glue them to my fingers or glob up my hatdscape. That being said I’m very happy with my new project. I put the buces semi-emergent on seriou stone and they are doing awesome. I tucked a few in some malaysian driftwood and they melted because I had an algae problem. I have come to realize that no matter how hardy the plants are when you receive them, it doesn’t matter if you don’t do the right things when planting.
Muy buenas plantas.
Plants arrived on time in great condition. They are actually Gigantea, not another species of Valisneria. I'm very happy!
Good color, in great shape for a plant family prone to shipping melt, and nice, dense growth.
Great color, minimal melt from a plant prone to shipping melt.
Small but healthy portion of one of the hardest plants to kill. Arguably THE best beginner plant.
The stems came with beautiful color and have already grown quite a bit inland gotten much fluffier. I’m having a bit of trouble getting them to root, so they often float around the tank, but they seem to be doing well otherwise! Pictured day one and day seven.
So so so pretty, one of my favorites. This plant has been in my aquarium for a week and is doing incredibly! It seems to already be growing. Pictured day one and day seven.
Beautiful and vibrant on arrival. Most stems have done perfectly in the first week, two melted quite a bit but are already showing some regrowth. Pictured on day one and day seven.
Two arrived perfectly fine. The third was covered in mold when I opened the bag and some bananas fell off. Hoping the extra little banana pieces might sprout a rhizome. The rest of it I let the bladdersnails clean in the 20gal. They seemed to like the free yummy white mold. 5 days later and its having rot issues which isnt surprising since the mold had to have been eating something (assuming the rot). Hoping it pulls through but oh well. I wasnt able to open the package the day it arrived as I was out of town but it was brought inside and kept away from sunlight and heat or cold.
Theyve withstood and held firm into the media as corycats have been shuffling and snuffling in the substrate near them for a week so far, and had decently long roots when they arrived. Minimal melting a week in with a small boost of liquid fertilizer and iron.
They arrived and I wasnt able to put my plants in same day due to being out of town when they showed up. The next day I put them in the tank and after 5 days theyre already producing more leaves with minimal melting. A teensy bit of duckweed showed up so I assume it was stuck to one, thats fine thats a bonus for me. Outcompete my red algae, little floating plants, feast upon the nutrients!
I am dry starting the UG in a UNS P90 and so far so good! No apparent die off, but that’s more reserved for the flooding phase. I will say however that from the many vendors I’ve tried, this vendor leaves its competitors miles away from a product quality and qty per cost perspective!!! Definitely a return customer!!
