Look beautiful! Excited to get these planted, right now they are acclimating to their new tank!
They look so cool in pics but when i got them there was barely anything. I thought it was buy 2 get one free. My mistake but like i said one was practically nothing. And the other one was like an inch in a half and 3 leaves. I think these were delicate. And didnt survive the mail. Its ok tho, my loss. Thanks. The other plants i got were great.
Hey! I am sorry to hear the Helferi did not arrive in good shape. If you ever have an issue with my plants please feel free to email me, I am always here to help.
As always, the plants came quick and healthy! Im not sure the Pogostemon helferi will survive in my tank, I've already had one melt away, but I have 2 hanging on! I'm crossing my fingers!
Order two of these for our guppy/neon tetra/loach tank. Love how these filled up some open sand areas. They grow slowly but enjoying seeing them every day.
This plant arrived very tiny, but healthy. Perhaps this is why I received an extra anubias. But whatever the case, I highly recommend this seller!
