| "Plants shipped faster than expected and packaged well for the journey. Clean cuts too - no snails or other critters in my quarantine tank before planting. Most took to my tank and are thriving beautifully. Also the decal -- LOVE IT! Wish there were T-Shirts."

One of the first types of plants I'd suggest for a beginner!
Swords (Echinodorus) are one of the most difficult aquatic plants to kill, and they are fairly slower growing. They won't need anything special in terms of lighting, filtration, or temperatures, and pretty much do just fine no matter what.
They do get larger, however, so it wouldn't be prudent to keep them in anything smaller than a ten gallon tank! If they are happy, they'll grow right out of your tank, and may even produce beautiful little white flowers for you. It's rewarding.
Swords are hearty plants, similar to things like Java fern or Anubias; so if you have fish that are nippy and like to dig (small cichlids, loaches, goldfish etc), these plants will work for your set up.

Growing requirements:
- 65-80 Degrees Fahrenheit

As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there's always the possibility of harmless snail or dwarf shrimp hitchhikers!

They all came dead 💀 probably won't order again sorry
Amazon sword came in with many yellow leaves, in dying condition. If an Amazon sword was in such condition, what could I expect the rest? I have photos taken, but dont see how to post them.
Really nice plants. They arrived nice and gealthy, and I had no issues acclimatizing them.
Despite being in transit two extra days, five days total, these swords showed up gem and relatively healthy considering the situation. Five days in my tank and In song new growth!
