This bamboo originally came to me with one of the pieces dead and Hollow. However it was very easy to contact the seller and have them resend the bamboo at no charge to me.. then the second package arrived and the same issue one of the bamboo sticks where dead and Hollow however I was very pleased anyway because I had for bamboo sticks that were in great shape out of the six that were sent and was charged for 3. Great seller quick shipping and quick return emails. #rankbooster #sponsored #3 Betta Bamboo Plant – Create attractive Zen Garden - Purifies water by absorbing Nitrate and Ammonia - Control algae by competing for nutrients - Extreme Hardy plant, survive in low light condition
