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" Review: 5 stars - Plants looked almost dead when they arrived but don't let that fool you .In a few weeks they adjusted to the water and envioment and grew into HUGE healthy green hornwort plants. Must rinse all the loose needles off in a bucket before putting it in your tank . The same way as you would rinse aquarium sand . Review: 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.

Great little plants. Just do some pre-tank steps to keep from shredding in your tank
I was apprehensive about purchasing this because of reviews that said the plant shredded and made a mess out of their tank, but took a chance. Yes, plant shreds a little from the shock of shipping. Yes, there were some brown areas on the plants. However, my tank was fine because I 1) Rinsed the plants several times 2) Kept them in a bucket filled with water from my tank for a few days, even gave them some sun ... after that there was NO SHREDDING IN MY TANK... so with a little pre-tank care I have 3 nice ;plants that are known to do a great job with removing nitrates from the tank.

A week in shipping
Packaged well, but shipped out on Feb. 3rf received today on the 9th, pretty much all brown in color. Got a very small amount of green on it. Sheaded alot when placed in tank. Double it they service. 😔 but I'm gonna give it a chance. Update they came out of it. And are doing well. Saler was patient with me and keep in contact for a few days seeing if they greened up and they did. I'd buy again from this saler.

It wasnt a complete waste
Most of the plants were dried out in the package, even though the plants were wet and well packaged, I had to rinse off alot of the dead parts before placing it in the tank. Its been like two weeks now and with aquarium plant fertilizer I can see alot of new growth. And the plants are coming back around. I will say that they give you alot in each bundle, I can say made it still a good purchase. So it wasn't a complete waste.

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.
