Alternanthera Reineckii

A lesson learned.

This plant started off great. I dropped them intto a holding ta.nk to wait until I had more time to plant them. They looked great so I just left them in the foam and weights they came in longer than I should have. When I got to them the roots had grown into the foam strips. As I tried to separate them I found it almost impossible to do so without ripping the roots out. I planted them thinking everything should be fine but they started to lose their leaves and eventually all I was left with were stems. Unfortunately the same thing happened to a couple of the other plants I ordered (bacopa car and val nana) the bacopa lost it's leaves by melting, the valls are still hanging on , hopefully they'll make it. This was probably my fault I should have dealt with them as soon as I got them but... Live and learn I guess. I'm still going to buy plants from you guys. The plants iI ordered all came in looking great.

Plants arrived dead

Plants came in decent shape

The stems came in decent shape, although there was a bit of melt. Overall, they recovered nicely in my tanks and are looking great.
