Wonderful plants! - I ordered these plants in February, which was silly of me to do in Michigan! The plants originally arrived frozen (as it was -12°f) and I tried to revive them, but failed. I messaged the seller, and he was willing to wait for warmer weather to ship me a new bunch! So I messaged him 4 months later, and 2 days later I had my plants! They are now thriving in my classroom fish tank!! Thank you so much Marcus! They are beautiful, healthy, soft plants, easy to pop into the base later and already are taking root + growing! Review: BEYOND IMPRESSED + SATISFIED - !!BEAUTIFUL PLANTS!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The plants themselves: I was extremely nervous about the quality of these desertcart swords (I had never ordered aquarium plants online before this). I ordered 2 of these (=6 individual plants) out of fear that I would not get healthy plants. BOY was I wrong!! The Swords that I received were beautiful!! I nearly shed a tear🥹🥲. BRIGHT GREEN leaves, THICK stems, HEALTHY ROOT and CROWNS! And to my delight- a few of the Swords were putting off new stems!!! (They now have babies coming off them!!)! These Swords also came with 0, yes, ZERO duckweed! They also settled in very well for me and showed no signs of shock or melt in either of my two tanks I split them up in. The packaging: The desertcart Swords were packaged pretty decent. Three swords in 1 plastic bag with just enough moisture to keep them from drying out but also keep the box from becoming a soggy mess. I found that the box itself was a perfect size for my 2 (=6 individual plants) and allowed them to fit snugly/not fly around while in transit. I found that there was no heating or cooling pack, HOWEVER, my plants were in perfect condition. So, this didn’t seem to be a big deal for mine! Shipping: I’m from the Midwest. I got these desertcart Swords in December. 🫣you might see where this is going… By the time I was notified that my package was delivered to my post office, they were already closed for the day. I thought to myself, “no worries! I’ll just pick them up first thing tomorrow!”. Wrong 😭 the post office was closed for the whole weekend and I was given no option but to wait 3 days to pick up my Swords. I panicked, thinking about my poor plants all weekend, surely they would be dead by the time I can pick up my package right? Wrong again! I severely underestimated Marcus Fish Tanks. These aquatic plants sat in a cold, dark, post office for 3 DAYS (+however long it was on a truck) and were still bright green and didn’t have a single melt spot or any sign of stress. They also didn’t have any smell to them! Overall: If you are looking to buy quality desertcart Swords for a reasonable price I implore you to buy from Marcus Fish Tanks! Speedy shipping, healthy plants, and a great price. I’ll definitely be a returning customer :D !!!5 sparkling stars!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ## Features - Echinodorus bleheri from South America is undemanding and beautiful, and becomes 20-50 cm tall. - A nutritious bottom promotes growth, but the plant needs pruning to prevent it depriving plants underneath of light. - Echinodorus bleheri does well even in poorly illuminated aquariums, as it grows towards the light. It is a hardy and easy solitary plant for both beginners and the more experienced with quite large aquariums. It has been sold under the name "Paniculatus". ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07D1Y87T9 | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,754 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #1 in Live Aquarium Plants | | Brand | Water Plants | | Brand Name | Water Plants | | Color | Green | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 2,655 Reviews | | Expected Blooming Period | Year Round | | Expected Plant Height | 50 Centimeters | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Indoor/Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Manufacturer | Water Plants | | Material Feature | Natural | | Material Features | Natural | | Moisture Needs | Moderate Watering | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 3 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Low Maintenance | | Plant or Animal Product Type | Amazon Sword | | Soil Type | Sandy Soil | | Special Feature | Low Maintenance | | Sunlight Exposure | Partial Shade | | USDA Hardiness Zone | 3 | | Unit Count | 3 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Water Plants - **Color:** Green - **Expected Blooming Period:** Year Round - **Expected Plant Height:** 50 Centimeters - **Indoor/Outdoor Usage:** Indoor - **Material Feature:** Natural - **Special Feature:** Low Maintenance - **Sunlight Exposure:** Partial Shade - **USDA Hardiness Zone:** 3 - **Unit Count:** 3 Count ## Images ![Amazon Sword - Echinodorus Bleheri x3 Plants - Live Aquarium Plant - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71iCDSrSGtL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How tall are these when shipped?** A: I'd buy them locally. Not the best quality of plants. Check out my review and pictures for the 3 i recieved. But the size of mine ranged from 5-7 inches tall **Q: Can the roof just go in the water and the rest of the plant stay above water** A: The leaves will begin to turn yellow after some time of being out of the water. New leaves may grow if you use root tabs or a good soil at the roots (submerged). But I personally wouldn’t recommend growing out of water as you would just need to keep cutting off dead leaves every once in a while. If you don’t mind that, you can do it. The roots do need to be submerged to grow new leaves, however. **Q: I am very new to aquarium plants, anyone know why the leaves are slowly turning black??? what do i do now to save them?** A: I cut off the leaves that either melt or turn black. For any plant, when you first plant them, they will sacrifice a leaf or two until they are established. If it’s algae, reduce the light and see how they do. **Q: Is that 3 pots or 3 in 1 pot?** A: 3 separate, bare-root plants, no pots. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great customer service!!
