It was cool for you to replace the bad plants. But what you sent wasn’t what I ordered & the grass had black beard algae on it. I removed them & trashed it. Thanks but no thanks.
All the plants that I ordered including the DS arrived promptly and with great packaging and each looked great. All are still planted and doing well. I was anticipating the DS to remain small and carpeting but it's quite large with some strands reaching nearly 10". I am just letting them take root good and see what happens. I do think that maybe some 'pest snail eggs' must have piggy backed in on my order because I now have some in my tank and I didn't before. It's no real issue but seems to be what happened. I would definitely order again from Daku but treat for snails (eggs) more carefully before planting.
Plants arrived safe and sound. Second week after planting with no melt.
Arrived in excellent condition and already growing fast.
The dwarf sag had nice growth and roots. It was growing submerged so no melting at this time
