2 bunches elodea made it to New Jersey from China quickly, and in fair condition in the month of January with near freezing temos. Each bundle consistent of about 9 cuttings each giving me 18. However 7 of the bunch were small, between 2 and 5 inches with yellow thinning leaves which not a deal for me as there are plenty long healthy cuttings between 5 and 12 inches that compensate. Nonetheless I planted the rattier looking ones as I’m sure they’ll bounce back. The only small complaint I have is they were bent up and crammed in a small box so they are crooked, thankfully not broken though, it’s not to worry though as they should straighten out in a few hours or so under the light. These are a great addition to a planted aquarium, they have great color and texture. Once they grow out and become established and trimming is needed the trimmed stems can be replanted throughout the tank, in other tanks, or sold to local fish stores. I certainly reccomend this product.
