I could expand by fall but not yet. I read they get up to 16 inches.That's the adult size, they usually ship smaller. However, if they have as an abundance as they claim to be able to sell for $1 each, they may be bigger.

I for sure don't have that kind of patience.They have an option to buy some of their pond silt that would make waiting unnecessary. Or a beginners pack with silt, 3 waterwheels, and "associate plants".

I'm probably going to end up doing it. I hope I don't end up regretting it lol
Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.
