Came in very healthy and pest free!
I ordered 2 ozelot swords and I am extremely pleased with them! The pattern and color on the leaves is great, and they arrived in excellent condition. I will absolutely be back for more.
Wow!! The ozelot sword arrived in excelent conditon with all of its leaves intact! It arrived fast, happy, and healthy even with temperatures below freezing. Seller was very helpful and quick to respond. I highly recommend them to others and will be ordering from them in the future.
Absolutely beautiful plant!!
Arrived healthy and carefully packaged! I was sent a gorgeous ozelot sword that was way larger then I was expecting! I’m a lil worried my tank perimeters aren’t perfect for this ozelot sword and I accidentally damaged a few leaves in the process of planting it but that would be 100% on me and the care I’m providing for this plant, despite my parameters not being perfect it’s still shooting off new leaves and is absolutely gorgeous! And I know it arrived super healthy and in great shape! This is my favorite of the swords I bought from Daku so I really hope it thrives in my tank!!
