Our moss is grown emersed (above water); expect some initial leaf melt as it adapts, with new underwater growth in 2-4 weeks. We inspect and prepare all plants before shipment, but as natural products, occasional hitchhikers such as bladder snails may appear after transit, which is beyond our control.
