Cardinal Plant Bunch (Lobelia cardinalis) - Beginner Tropical Live Aquarium Plant

This plant came and was so vibrant with color . . We love it. You won't be disappointed if u order this plant. Shipped well, alive and thriving. Will be buying again from seller.

I'm not sure there was every even a live plant in this package! I asked for an immediate return and refund!

If you want a plant that only has 3-5 dying leaves on it, this is the company to get one from. Box wasn’t labeled as fragile, came with a mesh baggie filled with a brown substrate, maybe? The bag of “stuff” (nothing was labeled and there weren’t instructions if I should use this random bag of dirt,) completely smashed the plant. It was in a 1/2 dozen droppers worth of brown water, and was already missing leaves. Even though the roots were wrapped (the only positive,) it fell apart more every time I touched it, though I was being as delicate as possible. I should have taken pictures, but I found it at my door as I was leaving for work and didn’t want it sitting in a box for any longer. I put some of my aquarium water in a betta cup and placed it in a warmer section of my house with the lights on. I wrapped it onto a rock with sewing thread the next morning, (by this point I only had a few remaining leaves and the plant was split in 2.) I placed it in aquarium water and put it under my sunlamp (my nonaquatic plants bursted into life with this lamp, so I’m hoping that it helps the little guy out.) By the looks of it however, it’s not going to make it, and I wasted $13 on a dying plant. I wish I took pictures along the way, but I was already late for work after unpacking it. The picture I have is from what I ended up with after it was all said and done, (basically, nothing.) It’s still deteriorating- bits of leaf are flaking off, even though the container is completely still...

Plants arrived in great condition! Rinsed in old tank water then put them in my tank. They did not wilt at all. Pictures are after about 2 weeks in there. One plant got nibbled by some fish at first, but it is sprouting new leaves and the fish are no longer bothering it.The only draw back was they all turned bright green. I believe the description said they stay purple underwater but that did not happen for me. Maybe my lights are too bright? Will have to get something else to add a splash of color but these are still beautiful!

These plants are the best plants I have ordered on Amazon and as I said, they are holding strong. They just seem to stay in one spot and instead of growing bigger, the leaves float off. I have rooted them but they are not taking root.??? The color is not the same as the picture and I have it in my big tank with the fluval grow lights. I am going to put them in a flat position and see if ALL those roots can take hold. I truly have petted these with all I read about them. Lets see what that does

Nice looking plants that arrived healthy and in great shape. Packaging was good and they have nice roots. They are nicely colored. The 1st problem is the 3 plants are TINY! The 2nd problem is that within 2 weeks, the leaves had all fallen off and there was no new growth. My other plants are flourishing. This was a complete waste of money!

Nice Plant - Healthy with roots...just like the photo

I had high hopes for this plant. It arrived rotting and falling apart and they were the tiniest of tiny bundles. I was only able to use half of what arrived. I’m hoping it’ll perk up now that I have them in the tank.
