Madagascar Lace Plants do take a little bit more skill to keep and require an excellent substrate to thrive. We can not recommend or advise purchasing a Madagascar Lace plant without dirt as your lower substrate. This plant needs lots of nutrients readily available at its roots, so extra precautions should be taken to make this happen. Once established in a tank with a great substrate, the Madagascar Lace Plant will thrive. I have had this plant for over 2 years now and it has taken over 1/2 of my 75 gallon tank. You have to be careful to make sure it doesn't over shadow plants under it.
I have kept Crypts and Anubias under it, no problem. When I ran CO2 if produced a white flower above my waterline which was killer. The Madagascar Lace plant is one you have to try and I throw it in with planted tank combos on occasion. I like it so much that I am working on making a T-Shirt with one up the side of it.

Customer Reviews
DustinFishtanks All I have to say is Wow! :) Beautiful specimens, I have been wanting this plant for quite a while now. Yes, they are small, but that's what I ordered: 3 bulbs, even with some small shoots on them, very nice, my friend. Iam a very patient man, and the payoff of raising them and letting them grow up is so worth it. Thank you for that.
(NOTE!) (For all of the human caretakers of these plants & many other species, patience is the key here, your expectation in your own mind, and preparation of your own hobby. Be mindful when leaving vague comments in a review. Thank you to all the Humans out thier. This is directed AT;)) Ordering plants from Dustin's nursery has more than exceeded my expectations of the quality care that he puts into this for us, the customer. His efforts in this business and his appreciation for his employees, well done, Dustin. I also want to thank Andrew, Whitney, Liam, Chase, Falon, Sam, and Nancy. Keep up your hard work, it's appreciated, especially by me, a hobbyist who loves, or more like has a passion for, live plants, Aquascaping, and fish caretaking. Tank On!

Ps. Puppy's Zen & Gia storm love watching the tanks along with my Lovely wife, Laura. Thank you :) Dustin & Crew!
The lace plants are hard to find these are healthy and sending out new leaves
All the Aponos are terrible travelers. These three are small but alive and in good shape for Aponogetons that have just come across the country. Now I just need to hope they are the wide leaf type. The website only shows skinny leaf or two sizes of the lace plant bulbs. In the past there was specifically a wide leaf type. I'm now hoping that the not skinny leaf is the same as wide leaf. Time will tell. They have onnly been here one day so once they settle in I will be able to do a better job of writing a review.
The best plants in the business, and when something went wrong they took care of the issue right away! Dustin’s has that old fashioned ethic almost never seen anymore.
Healthy bulb, many leaves several inches long. No wilt. Packaging was great!
