Horrifying	May 17, 2013
Reviewer: Ryan from Humble , TX United States

I bought 2 bunches of this,and when it got to me, the plants look horrible, kinda looked like cooked spinich, horrible quality. The plants fell apart as soon as you touched them.

Beautiful plant	December 18, 2012
Reviewer: Charles King from Cross Lanes, WV United States

They survived shipping no problem. I ordered two bunches and they gave me four! All the bunches had at least 5-6 stems in them. They were all very healthy after 2nd day shipping. They grew slowly at first, but after a week or so in the tank I started to notice them spreading out and tiny new leaves starting to form. They will change color depending on the nutrient balance in your tank. Low nitrates and high phosphates have given them a nice purple coloring in my tank after 3 weeks.

Reminds me of pot.	November 9, 2012
Reviewer: Maegen Benton from Sioux City, IA United States

The picture I saw of this plant does not do this plant justice. The one I recieved has smaller leaves and right now, maybe not as bright. I hope that changes and I am sure it will. Lot of stems came in the bunch and am very satisfied with my order.

Purchased this plant 7 months ago	October 20, 2012
Reviewer: Ron & Doris Ott from Surfside Beach, SC United States

With even moderate T8 lighting this plant grows great. It took a good while for it to root in the lower lighting environment, but once it took hold it needed no special care.
I have since changed a real quality lighting system, and the colors are now so amazing. The plant tops bloom out into rose,purple and pink colors. The lower leaves are a dynamic bright green. Terrific plant, everyone that looks at it asked what it is called and where we bought it. It has also spread very nicely across the back of the aquarium. Buy this plant you will love it.

First time buyer	December 29, 2011
Reviewer: Carla Baker from Rock Falls, IL United States

Just got my plants today. These look awesome, they smell neat too. The color is so nice, pink, purple and green. A lot of leaves came off, but the plants seem fine and are gorgeous. Used 2 day air and still had no dead plants. Will be hitting the pet stores to promote Aquarium plants.com.

limnophila aromatica	December 5, 2011
Reviewer: Anonymous Person

A beautiful plant, and not hard to keep, but it hasn't been growing as fast as I'd like. I don't have CO2, which may explain it. Lots of leaf loss, but all the plants looked great and got established quickly. It has an interesting smell, and I read that it's grown as an herb in Vietnam.

if it's hot out get shipped overnight	August 8, 2011
Reviewer: Tyler Riggin from Downers Grove, IL United States

This is a beautiful plant! I tried ordering it from AP.com twice, both times with 2-day shipping, and both times this stuff was totally dead upon arrival. Last week I place and order with overnight shipping and they came in great and are growing great, and AP even threw them in for free because of my previous troubles with this plant!

Incredible color and contrast	February 26, 2011
Reviewer: Cindy from Tobyhanna, PA United States

I just bought 5 of these plants (we have 5 planted tanks). They ALL arrived in great shape, incredible color. I origionally put them in one of our 3 1/2 wpg but the plants were in fighting shipping shock so I bumped them up to a 4 wpg tank and they have taken off in just a few days. I must say, it does pay to overnight ship!

Limnophila	November 11, 2010
Reviewer: Elise from Texas

These are so pretty! I ordered 2 with 2nd day air and received 3. They are very full and a deep purple and green. A lot of the leaves fell off - mainly the very bottom - but did not thin them out much at all. Most of the bunch plants I ordered were packed so when I pulled them out, they were arched and fall forward a bit. I am hoping once they are settled and under the light they straighten up. They add a very nice contrast to the tank.

11/11 - They have lost most of their leaves and bottoms so now they are very short, I would highly suggest good weights for them.
