Super cute
Posted by Kel on 24 Nov 2021I fell in love with these as soon as I took them out of the package. One container had surprisingly more clumps than I thought it would. Many even had little flowers. A few clumps had good length roots already.

Red Root Floater
Posted by Kyla Amos on 9 Oct 2021I will come back with another review in a month or so. Received these this week - full to the brim cup. I am hopeful that they develop the pretty red roots shown, right now they aren't too pretty to look at through the glass - basic brownish roots. Plants seem healthy though. No instructions included, so I rinsed them, soaked in a bucket with the Hornwort I also received, with a little bit of Prime in the water. Then, threw them in the tanks.
