live plants from walmart

[bobwumba]

has anyone ever had luck with the live plants from walmart?

 

[Torrean]

yes. I have a lily growing in a ten along with three apongetons. They take a while so be patient. You are talking about the bulbs you get in the pet dept correct. Also My gf has two apongeton in her 29. She added lillies but gave up on them before they sprouted. Be patient.

I haven't been to Wal-Mart for years. But I go to PetCo sometimes and I assume that they have the same stock: a bunch of swords, anarcharis, and terrestrial non-aquatics like "mondo grass". I always see their plants dying. So, I guess not much luck there. All my plants are from various LFS's. All except the apons and the tiger lotus bulbs I got from PetCo and those have been great.

no I don't think wallmart sells live plants, just live plant bulbs.

yea they were the bulbs and believe it or not they are actually growing! I have had them for a week now and the sprouts are just starting to come out.

actually they do sell ive plants. I got two from there and they are doing great! Also, I did get bulbs, and none of them were growing, but they have a guarentee, and you can send them back to the makers., I did, and all of the ones I got are growing!

they are actually almost a inch tall now and it is good that they have the guarentee.
