Mix feelings about this plant
The actual plant received looks pretty much identical to the picture (mixture of java ferns) and the drift wood is a good size - very good size. This is not an issue with the vendor; but rather the specific plant seems to attract some sort of alage. I have other java ferns, swords and jungle val that for the most part get very little algae but this guy soaks it up. I thought about doing a bleach dip but for now I think i'll just take a wait and see attitude (product was received 45 days ago and like other plants I like to wait a bit and see how it does). Also I will note that i havent' seen much growth from these ferns - my other ferns, anubia and such are putting out new leaves on a regular basis (a large amazon sword I have put out 3 new leaves this past week).---Review update: the algae came and went and the plant itself was none the worse and continues to grow. So why did i lower the score from 4 to 2. The problem I'm having is even though the plants are healthy and grow the composite is falling apart. Now that I sort of understand how it is put together - it makes sense that this would happen over long period of time. I could try removing it and re-attaching new fern to the driftwood (when I saw new i don't mean buy new fern but rather pieces that have broken away over time) but that would be a hassal (in my case big hassle since it is the back of a 24 inch tall tank and is difficult to extract and replace). Eventually i will end up with a bare piece of driftwood. What will i do then - i'm not sure - maybe buy an anubia to put on the driftwood.-While I have NO problem with the seller and the item is exactly as described and the plants are healthy i just can't recommend this item (unless there is a long term solution to keeping it intact). I suppose if my tank was smaller and it was easier to pull it out i might give it a higher rating. As I said I don' tthink this is a problem with the vendor (seller) just the nature of this specific product. Having said that the fishes (guppies and swordtails) love swimming into it and the male bn loves hiding under it.

Will be buying more....
I bought live aquarium plants from three different sellers on Amazon this week. One more expensive than this product and one less expensive. All three were attached to drift wood.The more expensive plant came packaged in just cellophane and was totally brown when it arrived. Only time will tell if it will survives or not.The less expensive plant was about half the price. It was green and looked nice, but was smaller than the size of a gold ball. The description was slightly misleading.At this point I wasn't expecting much from my third and final shipment, this one.Boy was I surprised in a good way. It was packaged in a way that showed that the shipper cared. The product itself looked as if it had just come out of the water. It was way larger than I was expecting and looks great in all of the tanks that I placed it in. Will be buying more soon ;)

Beautiful, amazing transformation of my tank just as easy ...
Last time I ordered a plant on driftwood it was very small, this one is HUGE! Beautiful, amazing transformation of my tank just as easy as dropping in a fake plant but its perfect! 10/10

Excellent Decision!
I didn't know what to expect when I bought this one! I bought this for my 29 gallon aquarium, but may move it to my 10 gallon. Anyways, I ordered several plants with this order, and when I opened this one up, I just fell in love! It's vigorous and hardy looking and looks great in my tank!Greenpro is the best! 2 orders now, and not one of them have had dead or bad plants!

Beautiful
Beautiful plant! My betta is getting older and I was looking for a nice plant to give him more shade and soft bedding in his giant tank. I was so worried about hitchhikers that I shopped and read reviews for weeks. I'm so happy I found this already mounted on driftwood! My betta has been an extra happy bubble boy and I love watching him sleep on the leaves! I am a happy customer!

THIS PLANT IS BEAUTIFUL!!
THIS PLANT IS BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you so much! The java fern was so full and lush, and on such a pretty piece of driftwood. I dropped it right in my tank and it sat just perfect where it was placed. The wonderful thing was that I didn’t have to pre-soak the wood. So convenient! Five stars for great packaging, a nice piece of driftwood, and a lovely plant.

Not sure what is going on
The two ferns plants cane beautiful and lush. Within a week they started to turn brown and die. Thought it was just the intital shock but it doesn’t appear that is the problem. All other plants are doing well in tank. My water is in ideal conditions. Been in contact with greenoro and so far they have been responding back. We will see what happens. These plants are not cheap for sure at 40 dollars a pop

Beautifully Grown, Carefully Packaged
It was a beautiful plant. I say was, because my Jack Dempsey cichlid attacked and ate most of it within a few days. I had read elsewhere that these were good for cichlids - not mine. But that's not the shipper's fault.This was carefully packaged and shipped in a sealed, moist bag inside another thermal baggy. Obvious care was taken, and I would recommend this to anyone who wants to beautify their aquarium (and doesn't have plant-eating fish).
