Pros
Packaging is awesome and foolproof.
Cons
Plant sizes should be made bigger with proper roots; if need be slight price increase is also acceptable but current plant sizes and root conditions are not great. Let me see if the plants survive. Roots of all plants are brown; will they survive ?

the plant sent is in great condition but its not elocharis pervula but its the taller version of it. Probably umbrella hairgrass. I am having a hard time making it into a carpet as it just keeps growing tall instead of spreading along the substrate and staying low!
