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"

Bad quality
These pretty much have all died within the first few weeks of having them. The little pieces came off EVERYWHERE in my tank which left a huge mess to clean up. They were all brownish in color and I thought maybe that’s how it is supposed to be but after doing more research it’s not. It’s now been a month and I’ve done nothing but continue to try to remove the little pieces out of my two tanks and they have all been removed and thrown out. Very disappointed. Photo is what I’m still working on removing from one of my smaller tanks.

3 bundles arrived well
Second order, first review on the 3 bunches of Hornwort pond plant. Both shipments arrived quickly by standard post. Thank you! Both orders had minimal browning but plants perked up once rinsed and added to pond. All plants doing well, placed at floor of pond and at mid-level. My XL goldfish and Med Koi all enjoy these plants, hiding and sleeping in/around them. As for fast growing...TBD. Have had first plant order in pond a month now. I don't see any obvious growth, but plants are alive and well. Second order added to pond 3 days ago.If you are needing an oxygenator plant for your med pond (700gal), I recommend an order or 2 of these bundles! NOTE, when ordering/shipping, keep your temps in mind as warmer weather and longer shipment will affect the quality and life of your plants in route.*For reference; I am 7 hours away from seller in CA. These orders both arrived in 4-5 days with my temps being in high 60s-low 70s in mid March.

dead plants
I received the plants quickly, however they were very brown in the package. when i opened the plastic a horrible smell came out . I gently placed the plants in a gallon jug of fish tank water. after gently swishing i tried to remove the plants using the metal binding. they fell apart and had only stems with few leaves. one bundle only had stems about one inch long , and those were soft and mushy. I tossed out the jug with the leaves outside because the smell was bad.I did put the plants in my hospital tank thinking they might grow. After about two weeks i had to do a total cleaning of the tank , filters, gravel.every thing turned further brown and mushy. the plants i tried to rescue smelled really bad and the leaves that it did have fell off and covered the gravel and clogged the filters. I have thrown the rest of the plants away so I don't see how i can ask for a refund.

They didn't last in my pond
It says they are for ponds, but they did not thrive in my pond. They all turned brown and eventually died.
