Very very nice, very good quality, Package excellent with polystyrene box. Excellent recovery of feet planted in the aquarium, very satisfied.
The plant arrived in perfect condition. The size of the plant was a bit on the smaller one but I am sure it will get bigger
Arrived in great condition, ordered 2 pots but there were two good-sized crypts in one of the pots so ended up with 3 decent sized plants overall. (read more)
