The aquatic plants I received were incredibly healthy and looked great right out of the package. Hardy and bound together well ready to attach. They were easy to plant, and the online instructions were clear and helpful. I did a short quarantine just to be safe, even though they appeared clean and free of pests. Overall, a great product—very satisfied with the purchase.
