"Plants shipped faster than expected and packaged well for the journey. Clean cuts too - no snails or other critters in my quarantine tank before planting. Most took to my tank and are thriving beautifully. Also the decal -- LOVE IT! Wish there were T-Shirts." -Damara Via Etsy Available in different options: Bare-root (single rosette) 1x Pot (rooted in rockwool) 3x Pots (multi-pack) 5x Pots (multi-pack) 10x Pots (multi-pack) One of the first types of plants I'd suggest for a beginner! Swords (Echinodorus) are one of the most difficult aquatic plants to kill, and they are fairly slower growing. They won't need anything special in terms of lighting, filtration, or temperatures, and pretty much do just fine no matter what. They do get larger, however, so it wouldn't be prudent to keep them in anything smaller than a ten gallon tank! If they are happy, they'll grow right out of your tank, and may even produce beautiful little white flowers for you. It's rewarding. Swords are hearty plants, similar to things like Java fern or Anubias; so if you have fish that are nippy and like to dig (small cichlids, loaches, goldfish etc), these plants will work for your set up. Growing Requirements: Temperature: 65-80°F pH: 6-8 Light: Low to medium intensity Growth rate: Slow Perfect for beginners and hardy fish tanks As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there’s always a chance of harmless hitchhikers like snails or dwarf shrimp tagging along with your plants!I personally keep several beneficial snail species in my tanks, including Colorful Ramshorns, Bronze Bladder and Pond Snails, Mini Rams, and Malaysian Trumpet Snails. These snails stay relatively small, help clean the aquarium, and do not eat healthy plants or cause harm. However, if you’d rather avoid any hitchhikers, I highly recommend checking out our blog on how to safely disinfect aquarium plants before adding them to your tank:How to Bleach Dip Aquarium Plants SafelyAll plants are freshly snipped or harvested and packed right before shipment. I take great care in preparing every order and use methods that have consistently produced the best results over many years in the hobby. A lot of love goes into every package, so please don’t leave your plants sitting in a hot mailbox for too long 🙏 Thank you for looking, aqua friends! 💚 View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cassandra F. | Planted tank enthusiast (@glassgrownaquatics)
