What i received was cuttings, there was no root growth on those. Size was small and overall just OK. Nothing great though. Packaging was exceptionally good. One of the best shipping in the country.

packing was very good but cant say the same to the plants as they were very small(2 inch) of which half was already rotten, so try to give a bigger size and i got only 2 stem

I got my order in three days after dispatch which was important since more than an early dispatch, my concern was a short transit time. The plants were healthy, fresh and bright. The packaging was very good too. Being an avid hobbyist , glad to have such sites running. I have tried many sites earlier selling aquatic plants, but Bunnycart has the most reasonable pricing and most satisfactory service.

Do not plant it in substrate, it will rot, just stuck it between wood or some rocks. I received 3 stems, and all three are doing well, it takes some time to get acclimatize, once its ready it will grow pretty fast and send out new shoots. Happy with bunnycarts delivery.
