The picture is for illustrative purposes only - the actual plant may vary in colour and size, especially in winter when growth slows down. While we strive to provide the largest plants possible, their size is sometimes beyond our control. The plant’s colour depends on the fertilisers used during cultivation. Once placed in an aquarium, it will naturally adapt and develop its true appearance. You will receive a plant similar to the one in the photo (without a pot or cup). The listed size represents the plant’s potential growth in an aquarium, helping buyers determine its ideal placement. The plants you receive come from greenhouses or in-vitro laboratories, meaning some may be smaller or larger than the final listed size. Please note that some plants may arrive without roots or with minimal root development. However, once planted in the aquarium, they will begin growing new roots within a few days.
