whats the deal with madigasar lace plants. all i can find anywere are blubs. i dont really want to start from strach. why is tehre only blubs and no plants.

I've seen some actual plants in my LFS and hmm... I think it was Petco. However, the plants don't seem to do well in stores... everytime I've seen them, they look rather sad. Perhaps try ordering online?

i tried drs foster, but they only sell blubs as well. and from the guy that i am ordering plants from off of e-bay, hey only has blubs.

The probably don't ship well. They are rather delicate plants after all. Why don't you want to try them from a bulb? Shipping bulbs is a lot easier, and I'm sure they grow just as well.

I did find two on aquabid. [link=Here]http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?liveplantsr&1124046231" style="COLOR: #FFFF80[/link] is the link. The same person is selling a later auction [link=here.]http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?liveplantsr&1124651052" style="COLOR: #FFFF80[/link]

I love how they obviously copied and pasted their info from another site- including the site's price that is a couple dollars lower than this guy's asking price. Some people...

They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes,
They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver,
So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.

7.50 for a plant. we'll see what i can do. kitten told me that they probably dont do well at stores, so thats why i cant find any.

However, the plants don't seem to do well in stores...

Madagascar Lace is quite a difficult plant. The main thing is it needs cool water, absolutely vital. Therefore they don't do well in Tropical tanks. Probably why they don't look good in warm store water.

Unless you can provide the right temperature I'd pass on them.
