Nice healthy plant ,took off well
First ide like to say, personally any time I’ve ordered this plant online.. it always came in as melted mush with yellow leaves if any… until I ordered from daku that is! This plant came in perfectly healthy, melt, no mush, just happy! I personally love tiny/micro things and to see this plant happy in my little mini tank world almost took my breath away. I mean just look at these adorable little babies!! Thank you thank you Daku! :)
Love this stuff- I grow it sort of half emmersed from the water flow diffuser/baffle attached to my HOB filter. Grows really bushy and kind of cascades down and out into water. Perfect hiding spot for shrimp and my honey gourmais. Two thumbs way up for everything from Daku Aquatics
Got a nice clump for the price! A few dead leaves but literally no impact on the main plant. Despite a delay in shipping and improper handling by my post office, it arrived intact and healthy. I can never reccomend Daku enough!
