Images are for reference only.\n\nWe carefully inspect and prepare all plants before shipment and ensure they are pest-free at the time of packing. However, because live aquarium plants are natural products, occasional hitchhikers such as bladder snails or other microorganisms may appear after transit or acclimation, which is beyond our control.","brand":"CANTON AQUATICS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51142893371713,"sku":"RangeriSwordMED","price":12.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/5586\/4385\/files\/medium_48b26f53-987c-4c37-9f15-298c902ffe12.jpg?v=1784213160","url":"https:\/\/aquaticplanthouse.com\/products\/grandifolius-rangeri-sword-argentinensis-medium","provider":"The Aquatic Plant House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
