Description
Massive mother swords pulled from my 120 during a rescape, more leaves than I can count and runners still attached. These have been root-tabbed monthly for two years. Auction is per plant, and the box will be enormous.

Are these swords the narrow leaf type or the broad leaf? And is it one mother plant per auction or a few in a lot? Trying to figure out how big a tank they'd need.
Listing says auction is per plant, so one mother per bid, and the box will be enormous. They came out of my 120 so give them room. Message me and I'll send a shot of the leaves for size.
Bid in. Thanks for the offer of a leaf shot, plantedpete, I'll message you tomorrow.
Is the box shipped with heat pack or anything for the plants this time of year? Thinking of bidding.
Listing doesn't cover packing details beyond the box being enormous, so message me with your zip and I'll tell you what I can do.
Sword mothers are a great bid target, I always wonder how big the root mass is on the ones pulled from sand. Did you pull them with the roots intact or trim before boxing?
Listing only says they came out of my 120 with runners still attached, so roots are what came with the plant. Message me and I can send a photo of the root mass.
15 bids on swords, nice. Good luck to whoever wins, those roots will want a deep substrate.
Thanks, they were in sand with tabs for two years so the roots are well established.
Bid in on the swords. A 120 worth of roots is exactly what my spare tub needs.
19 bids on swords, wow. Good luck all, the 9h mark is where it gets spicy.
Bid in. Are the runners long enough to split into extra plants once they settle?
Listing says runners are still attached, so yes you can split them off once they settle in. Auction is per plant, and the box will be enormous.
Is the box really going to be that big? Thinking about bidding but I only have a 40 breeder to put them in, would one plant fit or do I need the whole 120 worth of space?
Auction is per plant and the box will be enormous like the listing says. For a 40 breeder one sword is plenty, they get huge once the roots settle, so you can always trim the outer leaves back.
