Frequently asked questions
We try to do a great job of keeping our holding tanks clean from algae and various ailments. We also perform quality checks prior to shipping plants! However, it is always possible that snails may be present. If you do not want to risk this, please consider purchasing tissue culture aquatic plants and/or cleaning and quarantining new plants very thoroughly prior to placing them in your aquarium. Snails are a natural part of the environment and are inevitable when dealing with live aquatic plants.

Lead Bunch: Typically used for stem plants. The plant is wrapped in protective cotton and secured with a lead weight to prevent it from floating.
Attached to: Plants such as aquatic mosses can be attached to stainless steel sheets.

For all plants that are attached to something, gently separate it and replant or reattach. Stainless steel mats will generally have a net-like covering that you can cut off and peel back. Once peeled back or removed, gently pluck off the portions of moss and reattach to your liking.
