better than expected!

These love a vivarium! They grow lots, and make a mini jungle in the corner i have them planted in, that looks very pleasing to the eye!

Good plant

I LOVE this plant. The leaves of the plant are a little larger than I expected. It is large enough not to get trampled by frogs, but still tiny. I was a little disappointed with the size of the plant. The picture Josh's Frogs use is very representative of what you get BTW. I was expecting something larger than that, but it grows pretty fast. This is my favorite plant from my plant order.

Nice plant

The plant came alive and well, the root ball was mainly in a pellet (simmler to peat or coir pellets) inside a clump of soil warped in news paper to keep the soil moist. After less than a week the plant is already starting to put on new growth and took well to the transplant.

Decent Plant

This plant is good for ground cover but after using several depending on their placement they may grow upward instead of outward.
