## Description

Elodea Densa - 10 LOOSE STEMS - without lead or weights The common name "waterweed" gives you some idea of the growth habits of this plant. Egeria densa is one of the best growers of all, and there are absolutely no issues with cultivation. Native to Southeast Brazil and Argentina, it has now spread across every continent. The "dense" variety displays extremely close, compact leaf growth along the stem. It also grows very well in garden ponds - either planted or floating - but is not completely winter-hardy. Normally delivered within 3 - 5 days but on occasion this maybe delayed which is why this was extended for delivery. Important Plants are incubated in a soultion of 0.01% of the insecticide Buprafezin for one hour (Please do not just drop these in a shrimp tank or with any other crustacean. To use these within a tank please wash in water with baking soda under light. These are treated to remove the insecticide but there are cases where this has not been fully removed causing casualty's in crustacean.

Review: Perfect plant! - Honestly I’ve Nver had an issue so far. First bought 5 stands for my tadpoles and they seemed to really enjoy it! The second time I bought some (which was recently) is for my goldfish. They seem to love it too and helps a lot with oxygen. Not to also mention that they look beautiful in the tank too, nice and healthy. I was worried at first because I have shrimp in my tank, so I soaked them in baking soda for 24hours and then cleaned it with dechlorinated water and everything seems perfectly fine ☺️. However there was a sneaky snail that hitch hiked along but was easily spotted when I was cleaning the plants before adding them. Overall I do recommend these!
Review: Slow to get going - I thought that these had died but several months after putting them in the pond they reappeared growing strongly & looking very healthy & now they are well established. I just hope that they are hardy enough to survive the winter.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Slow to get going

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Value Terrapin Food!
*by J***R on 9 November 2019*

I have been ordering Elodea Densa from Lincolnshire Pond Plants for a couple of years now. I buy 3X10 strands (get one free - only pay for 2x10). I have to say the quality is brilliant - far far better than my local pet shops can do even in the height of summer. I thought we might have a problem when crispa oxigenating pond weed was banned, but no, my greedy 12 year old terrapin loves this diet supplement just as much. Thank you LPP. Very happy
