The plant you receive is a plant grown emerged and looks like photos 2 - 9 (sizes vary as you can see from photos. Plants will be removed from pot). 

After planting in the aquarium, the plant will release underwater leaves, which, depending on fertilization, will look like the main picture.

The picture is only illustrative, and the real plant may vary in color and size, although we try to provide the largest sometimes it is independent of us. The color depends on the fertilizers in which they are served. Plants will take their natural look in the aquarium.
