leaves dropping October 19, 2009
Reviewer: Brian Rogers from Mount Ida, AR United States  
It may be that I ordered two day air, but all the leaves fell off this plant within 2 days, except for the top 1" growth.  I gave up.  All other plants in this order are great, Nesea red and golden, Rotala Wallachi, Rotala Magenta, and Crypt Wendetti are doing great.

Limnophila-Wouldn't recommend without co2 August 15, 2009
Reviewer: Dawn from McKeesport, PA United States  
I've tried these a few times and although they are gorgeous when they are received...the quickly fall apart once they hit the water.

The blade like leaves fall off and go everywhere within the tank and the stems break easily also.

After losing most of the plants due to stem breakage/mushiness I've tried salvaging what's left of them by planting  in eco-complete substrate under almost 3wpg of compact fluor. lighting and dosing with every Seachem Plant product known to man. The most success I've had is a slight red/purple tinge...nothing like what the photo shows.

Maybe with co2 system in place this plant would do better?

Beautiful before dying July 29, 2009
Reviewer: kai orton from chicago, IL United States  
I have had this plant a week and it has slowly deteriorated.  It simply will not root and tsheds all of its beautiful leaves and clogs my filter.  It came without roots.  I planted it in the substrate, but each day I have lost another stem which has gone mushy and looses its leaves.  I have two stems left.  Have my fingers crossed.  It is otherwise a lovely plant.  I will order one more bunch to see if I have better luck.

Difficult to tell February 22, 2009
Reviewer: Mark Carlson from St Marys, GA United States  
I have a lot of light and a small CO2 system.  This plant has been my tank 2 weeks and has grown some but not maintained its deep red color on the newer leaves.  IDK if they will darken up as they get older or not.  Beautiful plant though.
