Arrived partially transitioned, doing well

Got these about 10 days ago, there were several yellow old leaves I removed but still 3-7 healthy leaves including a few new ones transitioned to submerged growth. So far they are doing well and putting out new leaves. Planted them in an older planted tank-they are the vibrant green ones in the back not covered in algae yet.

Looks Great

The plant came in great condition— the leaves are healthy and plentiful, and the plant is great quality for the price. It looks really nice in the tank. I think I might order another one.

Amazon sword

The Amazon sword plant came in on the smaller side(ok by me as I know how quickly they grow) and very healthy. It’s pushing out new growth and I have no worries it’ll be a beautiful specimen in my tank. Thanks Flip team! ☮️❤️🪴

First time buyer

I was very happy with the fish I recieved. 6 cherry barbs, 7 green neon tetra and 6 (ordered 5) dwarf rainbows. As it is probably still early for bigger plants, my Amazon sword was 3.5 inches, but I recieved 2 of them. It's been 2 weeks and everything is still doing well. I'll plan to order again the next time.

Arrived safe and healthy

Ordered with several others plants for a re-scape. Was expecting a slightly larger plant from what I've heard of amazon swords. Still a baby. But all is good. I get to see all the new growth and hopefully experience it turn into a big old tank buster. Still healthy with almost no melting a couple weeks after adding to the tank. It's been growing out quite a bit already.
