### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Not worth buying
  

*by K***M on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 December 2023*

Delivery was received, but plants were dead and dying. There was only clumps of leaves surrounding maybe 1 or 2 plants on which the roots fell off when placed into the tank.

    They weren't slimy they were perfect
  

*by S***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 April 2023*

I've bought so many aquarium plants online only to wish I'd saved my money but these were healthy, perfect plants and from now on I'll only buy from this seller. Many many thanks. Sara 🙂

### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Not worth the money.
  

*by G***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 April 2023*

Arrived mostly rotting with barely any roots. I tried to separate the ones which looked like they might survive, none of them did. Full of pest snails. I have since bought the same floating plant, in vitro, from my LFS and it has really took off in both my tanks. Avoid buying from this supplier, unless you like pest snails.
