I have ordered several crypt spiralis among many other plants from KG Tropicals. The plants look great, are very healthy, and packed really well. Shipping is quick and communication is great. You can’t go wrong with plants from KG Tropicals! I will continue to order from them any time I need new aquarium plants!
I know these plants melt back, but i am sure that i lost one completely. No ones fault , it was fine when arrived. I am leaving the crown in the substrate just in case.
If I had known just how beautiful this plant would look in my new setup, I would have ordered two, possibly three instead of the single that I purchased. I will be buying another, and I know just where it's going.
KG tropicals provides high end products and plants for your aquarium. I know John and Lisa take great pride ensuring they go above and beyond for their customers.
I ordered three pots. All three came in an insolated bag. Each pot had three plants in it! So I ordered three pots and got 12 plants! Great deal for a great price!
I love these crypts. This is my third order of these, and have never had any melting from any. The roots are huge, and one plant even had runners already started with two baby plants attached. They look really nice in the tank and the fish like to swim through them.
I forgot I had ordered this plant along with fish food, so I didn't open the box for 2 days after it arrived. The plant was perfectly fine, though a few leaves had started to discolor. It's bouncing back and I see no signs of Crypt melt. 2 thumbs up. Although, I don't recommend leaving it packaged like I did.
