Note: Parrot's Feather is one of the most resilient plant out there, it's normal for their tiny leaves to turn yellow beginning at the cut ends of the stems during shipping. You can check them by feeling those stems for plumpness. If those yellow leaves are unsightly, you can strip them off. Keep those stems bunched up and either let them float in water or plant them in a small pot with plain dirt, heavy loam soil, or aquatic media and some fertilizer. Within a week, they will grow hair like roots and producing new leaves.
Quantity: 1 Bunch (4-6 strands that are 6 to 14 inches long)
I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
