Staurogyne Repens Tissue Cultured - Foreground Aquarium Plant

Update, USPS caused a big problem with the shipping. This Company is in Rosemead, CA and I live in Los Angeles, CA. This company is only 11 miles from my house. Once this company ships my order I should get it in a few day. For some inexpiable reason USPS shipped my plants to Jacksonville, Florida and it sat there for a few days. I finally got it today and the plant's were in okay shape, not as good as the first time I ordered from them but they will recover now that I have planted them. This in not the Companies fault, it would be nice if they offer different shipping methods. Next time I'm just going to drive to their store.When buying aquatic plants online I always buy 1 too make sure they are good quality and have good root bases. I was totally impressed with the quality of these plants, not only do you get nicely bunched plants they have very healthy roots. I was also impressed with the packaging. I most definitely will buying more plants from this company.

The plants came health and have had huge growth. They came quick and well packaged.

These are nice little plants. The TC cup was quite full and I had enough to divide and put them in two separate tanks. My only complaint is the cup was simply tossed in to a box and sent on its way, so it bounced around in there its whole trip. The gel was everywhere, and this could have been easily remedied by stuffing a few pieces of old newspaper around them. Otherwise, I am very pleased with them.

Everyone knows that for the most part when you use tissue cultures you’ll get a bit of melt back. Some leaves die and it will take a little while for the plant to establish well that’s what I thought was happening. Until they completely disinterested… my parameters are perfect have plenty of other plants with no problems but these completely died back within a month.

I’m very impressed so far. The gel threw me off as it was unexpected , and the gel parts that I was afraid to remove for fear of damaging these fragile roots were a chore to suction .. but they do eventually dissolve. The plant seems to like my tank and I pulled it apart into about 8 smaller sections and none are having difficulty growing. Some if it is in Eco-Compete substrate and others are in gravel . I even have a clump pinched between a rock and the glass just so I could watch the roots grow.. so far it’s surviving fine with no substrate or roots in the soil.. it’s an experiment. See photos below. I plan to let it grow taller for a week or so them try to clip about an inch or so off the top stems and see if they will survive and take root once Re-planted. The hardest part about transplanting from the original cup has been planting them at the right depth. The roots and leaves are so fine I was afraid to really press hard to get them to seat under the gravel. They all popped up and out of the black eco-complete a few times.

I’m not sure how to rate this. On one hand, I received a beautiful, healthy green specimen with nice roots perfectly packed in a high quality jar with gel, and no sign of snails! I’m very happy with that.On the other hand, the plant I received is not the species I actually ordered. I’m not quite sure what it is, but it definitely is not staurogyne repens. Its a cute tiny foreground plant that seems like it will spread, so I put it in my tank anyway.Overall, the health and packing of the plant inclines me to want to purchase from this seller again. I’m just wary I might not get what I paid for.

I got a lot more than I expected. I also was not expecting roots. I got both. They came in a moist plastic container with paper towel. Green a week after planting still looking good. No new growth yet but no wilting or browning. Enough for me to cut into 10 small plants to place around my 75 gallon tank. Really looking forward to it growing.Update: Plants are growing in nicely, even the small cuttings rooted. If you don't trim them down to spread out they will grown up. Used too much light (16 hours) now I have a black beard algea infestation on half of them... but that is my fault.

They were package in a very nice sealed container and very much abundant, if you separated them carefully but I preferred to leave them in bush like style. My tank is now overrun by plants and is only 1 &1/2 gallon. I know, stupid, but I have a 10 gallon, that I hadn't planned on using, but giving away, and now am forced to keep, to recreate a proper environment for my plants and fish. Thank you, seller, these plants were lush and green and so freaking cute and adorable looking.
