These plants came in healthy, well packaged and with great root development. This is my first time with this plant and I love it. Great addition and creates almost like a kelp forest that is easy for the fish to swim through. Looks awesome.
The website is very user friendly and they
have categories to make shopping quick and easy. My order was delivered promptly and my plants arrived in perfect condition due to the excellent packaging.
The plants arrived quickly, in beautiful shape. Very healthy and well packaged! Thank you Daku!
Arrived Very Healthy.
I live in Buffalo and it was -20 Degrees Fahrenheit and everything was alive snd healthy.
Very good condition when they arrived. There was enough plants in the package to cut a few of them to plant around. They went in the tank about a week ago and it looks like they’re doing well.
