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.

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!
There was two busted leafs so maybe the bulb was damaged enroute but it’s not what Dustin’s standards are normally
My Madagascar lace plant arrived very healthy with approximately six leaves. Although they arrived healthy, I still went ahead and snipped off all the leaves. Three days after placing it in my aquarium, I already have three new leaves starting.
I ordered four plants in this order. Every single plant, including the extra plant they threw in, was packed very well and very healthy.
My Madagascar came purple, not sure if it will brighten up or if there is something wrong. Sort of looks like the photos. Very small
