Healthy plants
Quick delivery and small but healthy plants. As usual, I placed these in separate tank (with a dose of snail killer) for about 2 weeks before moving them to my main aquarium. They have flourished and are much appreciated by my guppies. Update. I have just received another order and again, I am very happy. Delivery took just 2 days and the plants appear healthy.

Clay ring weight did not work
Arrived well packaged and in time. BUT the weed way weighed down with a clay ring unlike previous bought weed from this company. I followed instructions and sunk the weed in my pond. Checked a couple of days later and ALL the stems had escaped from the ring. 2 strands are still alive whilst all the others look dead. My previous plant was supplied with a metal weight and the weed is still intact and growing well. A bit of a waste of money. Can you please supply with a metal weight not the clay for pond use.

No issues, very well packaged
Product itself was very well packaged by Lincolnshire pond company but they ignored me over a lengthy email I sent explaining my issue with pricing. It’s better value to buy 10 (from what I saw at the time) but they never answered me when I asked for an upgrade. Can’t tell whether amazon filtered out my messages or not, but I did send it and more than a month later I never got a single response. This plant grows VERY quickly and did actually start to melt from the bottom up, I think due to a lack of light (it was killing itself!!) but this was solved by gently pulling the brown dead sections off and discarding the weight. I had no way of easily pushing the live plant back into the weight, but it was handy at the start... I now leave the plants floating freely at the top as they can’t be rooted in the substrate easily. My dwarf frog loves resting at the top now by sitting on the branches. My betta also likes using the area as a cover- my filter is quite strong for it so I have used the plants now as a buffer and it has worked very well. Pictures show when I first introduced the plant, and now when I have left them to float along the top. I would say that overall I recommend this seller and product, it is a great oxygenator (not sure if this is a word but you get the point :D ) and my Amano Shrimp also finds it great for running up and down on. Hope you guys found this review helpful :)

Take photos for if plant wrecks tank - not sure suitable product - seller not helpful!!!!
If Amazon would let me give 0-stars, I would. Sadly, the pondweed I ordered originally arrived dark, slimey and with bits broken off. As I had never had this before, I assumed that was normal and rinsed the slimey bits off. I followed instructions, ensuring the stems were well wrapped before putting in the round weight. Within 3 days, the pondweed was mush, the water was cloudy and my filter was a disgusting state. I had to do a full water change, throw away the slimey strands and clean my filter thoroughly. My fish were all lethargic but are now better after the water change and removal of this pondweed. I contacted the company to double check this was for tropical aquariums as I had ordered another of the same plant for coverage (thankfully this 2nd plant arrived looking healthier and is doing better....the only difference I can see is it arrived with a foam wrapping and clip at bottom rather than a weight to attach and a cottony wrap). The company asked for photos of packaging and the plant. As I am relatively new to Amazon, it isn't natural for me to photo products but I WOULD HIGHLY ADVISE YOU PHOTO PRODUCTS AND PACKAGING ON ARRIVAL AND PLANT IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG. My concern was that the 2nd plant would see my fish off of it wasn't correct but the company have basically said they can't help me without photos....I just rinsed the majority of the plant down the drain and threw away a few bitty strands. At no point have I asked for a refund, I just needed re-assurance that this was a one off and plant #2 wouldn't kill my fish. Again, thankfully, 2nd plant is better but I would HIGHLY ADVISE PHOTOS OF PLANT AND PACKAGING ON ARRIVAL AND PLANT IF IT NEEDS REMOVING, EVEN IF IT IS SLIME IN FILTER/BITTY STRANDS. Due to the company's unwillingness to help me without photos (again, no refund was requested, just a check that the product sent was for tropical aquariums - I would expect them to know what they sent), I wanted to ensure that other customers were aware to take photos!!

Perfect plants, excellent quality, plenty of them
I had to bring our school goldfish home due to Covid, so it was a quick move to a new tank for poor Spot! I needed new plants and thought I would give this company a go. I was very pleasantly surprised that not only did they survive postage, they were fresh looking, good quality and a decent bunch. Spot is now happy in her jungle even if it is a smaller tank. Thank you from Spot x

PERFETTE
Ne sono arrivate 10 anziché 5, solo una era un po' abbattuta (credo per il viaggio). Le altre tutte belle e pure abbastanza lunghe (15-20cm). Consiglio a tutti!

La realtà pessima delle cose
La piantina doveva arrivare un giorno prima, ma invece 2 giorni in busta e senza acqua, fuoriuscita dall'involucro, ma doveva essere almeno 14 cm e invece è pervenuta spezzata a metà, la foto è chiara. Il venditore ritiene che la piantina sia di ottima qualità, peccato della misura ridotta della metà e spezzata, ma pretende la ragione, gliela lascio. Consiglio di riflettere su eventuali acquisti. Sbagliare è umano, pretendere la ragione è diabolico. 12 euro buttati.
