Broke up slightly when unpacking and putting into my tank, but seems good now ### ⭐ Kills your shrimp. Not safe. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 27 April 2025* Absolute atrocity, the agar gel would not dissolve even after being in the water for 3 days; this is because some preservative and coagulation additives have been mixed. If you would not want your shrimp to die, like mine did, do not buy from this seller as they use unsafe practices. Even on top of that, I did some research and from the 2007 report by the British Aquatic Authorities, many sellers were indeed spraying it with pesticides, enough so that the residues could be fatal to so many other owner’s shrimps. Moreover , it isn’t great quality, yellowish, flaccid - probably why the seller had to put PRESERVATIVES in there. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Plant *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 24 February 2021* Amazing plant, arrived alive and happy. The gel is a bit of a pain to get off but it wasn’t hard once I figured out the techniqueTo remove gel easily: place the plant in the palm of your had gel side up, gently wash with warm water and gently massage the gel from the plant, comes off quite easily and you’re left with the plant intact.The plant looks great, good deep green colour and seems to be growing well with medium to high lighting and liquid CO2 injections to the water. ## Frequently Bought Together - K2AQUA Hemianthus Callitrichoides Cuba Hc in Vitro Live Aquarium Plants Carpet Tropical invitro - k2aqua 5 Marimo Moss Balls, Always Fresh Live Aquarium Plant, Cladophora aegagropila - 3X Java Fern Live Aquarium Plants Microsorum Pteropus 3 Stem Rhizome k2aqua --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/178494305-k2aqua-hemianthus-callitrichoides-cuba-in-vitro-live-aquarium-plants](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/178494305-k2aqua-hemianthus-callitrichoides-cuba-in-vitro-live-aquarium-plants) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-11-01*
