Product Description
Hornwort, also known as Coontail, has sturdy, layered hair-like foliage that helps oxygenate and clarify the water as well as keep algae growth to a minimum. It is found free-floating worldwide, in moving and still waters, or loosely anchored in muddy bottoms. The tips will shorten and thicken in fall, before falling off and settling on the pond floor to spend the winter as buds. In spring, these buds grow to repopulate the pond. Hornwort leaves are dark green and grow from a 1/2 to 1-1/2 inches long on stems that can reach 24 inches in length. They may be potted or just left to float in the pond. You will receive several stems in one bunch tied with at the bottom. You can plant as is or you can release them and allow them to float. These plants need at least 8 hours of light per day and they absorb nutrients through its stems so they do not root. Approximate Purchase Size: 6" to 8"

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Because of the numerous negative reviews, I was concerned that I would not be able to get a replacement. I contacted the seller and explained what happened. I got an immediate reply stating that they would send me replacements. Those plants arrived within three days and were noticeably much healthier.
It has been four weeks, and I am happy to report that they are all thriving. They are a nice addition to my tank, and provide extra coverage and hiding places for my Angelfish.
Hopefully some water and summer sun liven them up.
Would not buy again.
