    Description

    Plants will only be shipped First Class on Mondays and Tuesdays
    to minimize transit time, plants shipped Priority Mail will be shipped Monday-
    Wednesday.
    Salvinia Cucullata minimum of 30 clusters per portion. Typical cluster has 3-8 leaves. Plants will be pulled straight from the tank and packaged same day as shipping.  Cucullata grows fast, in my high light tank the plants open up more, in my low light tank the plants have more of the "cup" shape you see in some pictures. My tank does have a decent current with surface movement and these do fine, nowhere near as sensitive to movement as red root floaters. These will come from my high light tank as growth is faster there. Float them in your tank as soon as you receive them even if they have browned and they will perk up from shipping. Grows so fast once established I've been tossing a cup or two out every week for months out of a single tank.  The best part about Salvinia is that it is has in my tanks been an effective control on hair algae by sucking up excess nutrients.
    PLEASE READ
    Plants are pulled from an active community tank.  Tank has small number of bladder and ramshorn snails which generally do not get into the floaters that much but I can't guarantee snail free portions.
    If you absolutely do not want snails do NOT buy from me.
    Tank has some algae but the floaters don't seem to accumulate much of it.
    Shipping:
    First Class shipping is in a padded envelope.  I have been pretty successful shipping this way, transit time is usually 5 business days.  Plants shipped on Monday usually arrive on Friday, plants shipped on Tuesday usually arrive on Saturday.
    Priority mail shipping is in a small box and usually arrive in 2-3 days.  To help offset the higher shipping cost I will include additional clusters and will throw in clippings from other plants in my tank for Priority Mail Shipping only.
    DOA
    ;  I do not guarantee 100% survival rate of every plant cluster, but do include extra clusters with each order to make up for any losses.
    Priority mail shipping is
    required
    for DOA refunds/replacement, First Class shipping is cheap but slow so no guarantees if the plants don't make it via First Class mail.
    If the majority of the plants don't survive shipment please contact me within 2 hours of delivery with pictures for replacement or refund.
