Ron Hirsch: I still like the plants. They are healthy. Learning the hard way how to plant them and keep them alive.

Annette Hellingrath: I planted this grass in two of my aquariums. One plant was eaten by one of my enormous snails and the others died when the water in this particular aquarium got cloudy for some reason. I am usually lucky with aquarium plants and have four aquariums filled with plants. The plants I ordered were healthy and vibrant, undamaged and arrived quickly.

CodyBear: They came fast & packaged very well! Inspected closely for any hitchhikers. They were beautiful!! Rinsed them well before putting them in my tank. A week later, had black algae on plants, especially on the hairgrass & green algae all over!! Never had black algae before or this much of a problem with green algae!!! Removed as much of the black algae off the plants, lost a lot of them, 50% water change, and using AlgaeFix as directed. 20% water change a week later & cleaned off green algae & more black algae from plants. Removed dead & dying leaves!! Another week went by, more black & green algae!!! My aquarium was very healthy & stable prior the the hairgrass!!! Thank goodness the fish are still ok!! My plants are dwindling & continue to die off. I’m hopeful that as I prune the dead & dying leaves they’ll come back. The hairgrass, well, I have 2 pitiful thin, no longer bushy plants out of the 5 I bought!!! Hence 2 stars!! So I just bought a UV light to help control the algae problem!!! The hairgrass looks SOOOO great when I first placed them in the tank!! I hope I can salvage my plants & tank without spending any more money 💰😩

Amy: Arrived ahead of time.
Was packaged in a small box, and the hair grass was over a foot tall, pretty green foliage, nothing dead on it.
The entire plant was double bagged. Came in it's own pot for an aquarium lots of roots, very healthy.
I rinsed it off and removed the pot and planted it into my 40 gallon breeder tank.
The plant was taller than my aquarium is deep which caused it to bend gracefully along the top of the water which is what I was hoping for.
It looks beautiful and my fish and baby fish love it.

Susan: Definitely good value, but a royal pain to pull apart (I know, I know... taking care of fish is about patience). The plants are great. You can basically pull them apart. I bought two of them and covered 15 inches of the back of an aquarium. They are very, very tall - which is perfect for my set up, but might be too tall for other tanks. I will say that they are a major pain in the *%$# to get out of the original packaging. First, they put them into a small plastic 'basket' and the roots grow through and around it, meaning you have to cut the friggin' thing off if you don't want to rip off too many roots. Then, they put this spongey, clothe-like substance that the roots have grown around - I believe to keep them moist when shipped. This stuff is brutally tough to get out of the roots. So they get an A+ for value and the plants look good. Mission accomplished there. But they have to be able to find some different packaging approaches for this grass. Way too hard to prep for the tank.

CatM: This grass arrived well packaged and healthy! I trimmed the top to fit in my smallish tank, and it looks awesome. My fish seem to like it, and I love the live greenery that it adds to my aquarium. I have purchased from this seller before and was very impressed with the quality of the plants, and I would purchase again without hesitation. I've bought other live plants online that did not arrive in good shape... These are well wrapped and look great when they get to your house! Much better than what the pet store has.
