The leaves arrived fresh and intact. I’ve used them in my terrarium and noticed a beautiful natural color change in the water. The mix with moss and sticks adds a realistic touch to the environment.

Great quality leaves with a strong tannin effect. I appreciate that they come with a natural mix of materials. A little more uniformity in leaf size would be helpful, but overall very satisfied.
