I got four from the coquitlam superstore and i think i tried to acclimate them too fast... they shriveled and died. And yeah they only get them sporadically. Lesson: I would only ever try that again with propagules (the ones with no roots). Not worth the time and effort on the ones with roots since the acclimation has to take a couple months. Might as well wait for J&L to get some... those ones are good imo.

yes they are a saltwater plant, but for our purposes, they *can* live in either salt or fresh. In the wild they probably just can't compete with the other plants that are designed for freshwater.
