Sreepadma Aqua Flora

[JayP 431]

Browsed the Sreepadma booth at Aquashella briefly today. I'd not heard of them but they are the largest aquatic plant farm in India and have been selling their TC offerings in the US for about 2 years. I was actually impressed with the qualty I was seeing of their TC cups and wish I had room in a tank for some (and some ADA TC). Has anyone else purchased any of their plants. One of the first that I spotted was Red Tiger Crypt which was a coincidence since we have a thread discussing it.

I don’t think they’ve been on here in a hot minute, but Cherries Nature Aquarium was selling the Sreepadma line.

That's actually who was running the booth.

I actually thought that Crypt was theirs, but I couldn't find a good enough pic to support my assumption.
I bought their E quinguangulare twice. Once from Cherries and once from my LFS. Both times the cups were in great shape. Might have bought something else too, but I forgot. My LFS told me they had a salesman come buy, and they were trying some. I told them it was great they had something that wasn't the every day basic tc. I haven't been back to see if they got more. This was months ago. They aren't close, and I haven't done much with my tank since I got plants from Joe. I hope to get the E quing again soon. I fried mine by mistake.

Yup! Allen Ortega (owner of Cherries NA) is from Milwaukee and well known here! He carries Sreepadma, WeekAqua and 2 Hr Aquarist stuff.
I bought some tissue cultures from him when I was starting out and messed them up. Should revisit him soon!
