Pond Oxygenating Hornwort Bunch Plants

These are the most amazing aquatic plants I have ever kept! In the mail, I received a small box, and when opened, it reveals a properly sealed plastic package full of hornwort. After floating the bag in my 10-gallon aquarium for about 20 minutes, I planted each stem into the gravel. Hornwort is a background plant, so be sure to plant it at the very back of your tank. These plants are very tall, so after planting, I had to trim them. I could then plant the trimmings elsewhere in the tank to help fill in the background. An important tip: Never throw away your cuttings! Most, if not all, are viable and can grow back to a full-sized plant in a short period of time. Hornwort is a gift that keeps on giving. In the pictures I provided of my main 10-gallon aquarium, you can see the growth of the hornwort. Each picture is only about a week apart. It grows amazingly well and is very easy to move around and replant. Right out of the bag, these plants are a wonderful shade of green. They really help balance the earthy-toned substrate and the natural colors on the decorations, which you can see in my pictures. It also helps distract from the enormous HOB filter and heater in the back, which is definitely a plus, lol. The hornwort keeps my water quality pristine and helps bring oxygen into the water for my fish. They don't require CO2 or strong light, which are great for a low-budget LED aquarium. My betta and tetras love to hide in it, and my albino corydora rests her body on the smaller hornwort plants to sleep, like a little aquatic pillow. :) The seller is providing incredibly hardy, beautiful, and healthy hornwort plants. Once acclimated, and then planted into the aquarium substrate, they look vibrant and will last you a long time, given your water parameters are within a good range. You can really flesh out your tank by replanting the cuttings to fill it in, and it helps promote the overall health of your aquarium. Not once have I ever had this plant melt away, burn, rot, mold over, grow fungus, carry pests, or give off a foul smell. What a great buy. Best ~$10 I have ever spent on my fish. Will definitely be buying again in the future. Thanks! :D

I waited a few months before posting a review. I ordered this onOctober 30 2018.it is now the end of December 2018, and everything in my aquarium is dead. Dont get me wrong. The plants are doing amazing. Very green, bushy abd full of life. So are the leeches and parasites that came with them. They really enjoyed killing all of my fish, including the algea eater. They are clearly white leeches and I'm not sure what kind of insect it is but its creepy looking. My shrimp, fish, algea eater and just about all of my snails are all dead. I had a thriving tank for over a year. I decided to add this plant for the young shrimp to hide in and give the snails something else to lay eggs on. I let this float on the surface. I didnt anchor it down. I felt I had enough ground plants in my aquarium. But now, although my plants still look good, I am reaserching trying to find a way to destroy the parasites without destroying the plants because lets face it, THE TANK IS CLEARLY INFESTED. They are visible to the naked eye and a bunch of them. Heed my warning! Do not buy this unless you want your tank destroyed.

I ordered these aquatic plants on a whim, and wow — my little backyard pond has never looked better! 🌿🐸 Within days of planting, they perked up and started spreading their roots like they owned the place (in the best way possible). The water is clearer, my fish seem happier, and I swear even the frogs are having a party every night. Everything arrived healthy, green, and well-packaged — no mushy leaves or mystery pond goo (you know what I mean). I love the mix of textures and colors, and they instantly gave my pond that “natural oasis” vibe. If you’re on the fence — do it! You’ll be out there admiring your pond every morning like some kind of proud aquatic gardener.

First purchase of this type of aquarium plant. Shipping and delivery was great, but when my plant arrived I soaked in water just as a precautionary step and glad I did. My plant had snails and various "critters" swimming about in the water. After 5-10 dunks and soaking, I left my plant in a quarantine tank for 2 days before planting in my 13 and 29 gallon tanks. This helped to remove snail and other pests from the plant prior to adding. Main reason for 4 stars was from the pests included in shipping but overall great plant and after only 2 weeks or so in each tank, my plants are thriving, already seeing new growth and my fish love the added sanctuaries.

The plant arrived and a lot of it looked dead and was fairly dark brown in color. There were some green strands, but they were more olive colored. We put the best/greenest strand in with our snail tank on a table in front of a sunny window. We isolated The olive/brown parts of the plant in a bowl of conditioned water, also in front of the sunny window. These strands are all now bright green and growing very well. We did throw out the brownest part of the plant when it arrived, but there was plenty of other strands that the sun nursed back to health. I guess the plant even in it's brown condition could photosynthesize and get healthy. As other commenters said, there were snail egg sacs or very small snails with the plants when they arrived bc we have a snail type I don't recognize in our bowl now. That's fine by me, but something for others to be aware of. Last, I was worried abt the "needles" of this plant clogging our goldfish tank filter or breaking off and saturating the water. Neither of those has happened, even with the goldfish aggressively trying to munch on the plant. (Got this plant bc the goldfish don't eat it, even tho they try to take a bit of it regularly).
