Penn-Plax Aqua-Flora Aquarium Living Resin Decoration with Embedded Glosso Plant Seeds – Moss Patch – Safe and Healthy for Freshwater Fish

Amazing item! Love the price. I grew mine in a large 175 gallon tank without co2. Because my tank is so deep I thought it best to start this out up higher close to tank lights, so I placed it on a small shelf about 5-6 inches below glass lid with light over the top. My pictures show progression and the last shows final planting in my substrate. I had worried these would stop growing once they run out of space in the growing plate they come in, but these horror long roots outside of this container and can easily be planted, I think you might can see the roots in my next to last picture. This growth occurred over about 3 weeks I believe. Amazing! My shrimp love it

I bought this a little uncertain because of the reviews but I’ve been pleased. It arrived on the 24th and i immediately put it in treated water to get it started, moving it to my tank two days later. By the 31st (first picture) it had started to sprout. Itty bitty tiny leaves but life! Went away on a trip and arrived back the 12th to find a lovely amount of growth (second picture). Might need to get a couple more of them!New uncycled 40 gallon tank set to 78 Fahrenheit. No fish in tank yet so no added fertilizer.Edit: not too long later, fish in the tank so naturally fertilizing and I’m super happy with how this looks in my tank! Third picture taken one month after the second.

Never germinated

I have had a variety of experiences with this and other Penn-Plax Aqua Flora products, ranging from no growth at all to flourishing. There is a 50-50 chance if you will get decent growth or not. For this particular one, the growth is ok so far. I am hoping it grows more.

This worked out well for me. Lots of plants growing and my shrimp love hanging out on their island.

It is pretty and had some plants as described for about a month. In a well kept aquarium with other live plants. Not alive anymore (100 days give or take) as all the plants just floated away and got filtered out or scooped. Don’t really recommend but I’ll keep it just cuz it’s kinda nice. 4 stars to boost

Very happy so far. 4 days and the seeds have sprouted and are growing well.
