This is my third time getting this plant and I’ve had no luck with it, any others from here do just fine except this one
Came in excellent condition no issues at all with shipping came pretty quick after ordering
I purchased these plants because I had them in the past. Recently the plants were delivered in so-so conditions that they either melted or died. My order of 6 and 2 didn't make it. The other 4 still had a few green leaves so I'm hoping they'll survive. I was told that even though they melted, it can come back, so that's what I'm hoping until I got an email saying that I can reply with my concerns here.
Plant came looking great no issues
Bought 7 or 8 dwarf saggitara. Usually the plants I have bought have been really great quality and have been grown emersed. I don't think this was the case for 6 of the ones I bought as they were completely yellowed and melted. The one that did survive really well was completely green and didn't experience any melting or yellowing. So probably was just due to shipping. I did notice that the one plant that did super good have these gray granule things with the roots while all the others did not. So that probably had a lot to do with it.
anyways, super sad. Usually my experience is 5/5, love the stickers they send with you, and the way they ship it with the heat packs and insulated bags. Just for whatever reason, the plants j got were pretty bad when I recieved them.
Planted all the roots of the ones that were completely yellowed and melted, so probably are going to melt completely for a time while they adjust, but hoping they bounce back. The one that arrived super healthy is doing great though!
The pictures below are how they arrived in the mail after getting them ready for planting. Ended up trimming the leaves on the really bad ones that were completely brown.
I ordered a couple of these for my 10 gallon Betta tank and MAN, These plants looked so healthy when they arrived. The root system was beautiful and I was able to take the two plants and break them out into FIVE different plantings!!! Two weeks later, they still look amazing and I can't wait for them to start sending offshoots up so I can take some for my 75 gallon tank.
Recieved in great condition. Its doing good but hasnt started growing yet. Granted its only been 2 weeks. No complaints
Dwarf Chain Sword
This was my second order from Aquarium Coop and similar to last time most of the plants arrived in excellent condition. I couldn't quite give 5 stars because the crypt arrived nearly dead and the Valisneria was also in poor condition.
Two days after planting, the crypt was 90% melted and now a couple weeks later there are just a couple tiny roots/leaves barely hanging on. I think it will make a comeback but will take some time.
The Valisneria arrived damaged because the leaves were folded over in the packaging. I had to trim the top 2/3 off that had died but it seems to be surviving now and should hopefully grow.
I'm again pretty happy all around but if I could make one suggestion, taller plants really need a longer bag/box for shipping. The Amazon sword and Valisneria were both folded in half by the time they reached my house. The sword leaves still have creases and large brown dead spots and the Valisneria is basically cut down by 2/3 since the top portion wasn't salvageable.
Arrived in perfect packaging the plant looked to be in perfect condition and was easily planted. The Co-Op it one of the only places I can rely on for excellent quality plants that will survive transit and replanting.
