Arrived beautifully and planted just as well.
Healthy and well developed roots. Love the color and it is growing great in my tank.
Looks great. Tall with great roots.
All the leaves are gone. I've had no luck with red plants. I'm going with plastic.
The Lidwigia arrived sooner than expected. It made a great addition to my tank.
I like this plant, however I just noticed last night my mystery snails also like it......now it looks sad. I even had a few pieces broke off the plant and floating (which I replanted). So I did love this plant, now I'm a little skeptical. I hope the snails don't kill it.
AWESOME.. arrived alive and well.
I think my pleco may have hurt it or it didn't convert well. But I did save some so we'll see how it goes. But i love this one.
