They were packed well and looked good on arrival. Most of the leaves melted after going into my tank, as expected. The new growth is healthy and plentiful. This was part of my first order from daku. Less than a month later I've placed two more orders.
Came in beautifully! Always large pieces and they compliment tanks well :)
