This is a zero effort way to get an established carpet of plants. The actual mat is quite thin, so the roots are anchored but you can see them already growing out of the mat. The plant itself was healthy, with new growth appearing almost immediately. Professionally packaged as well. If the seller sees this, please add more items like this!!

No fiddling with the tiny, delicate roots and waiting on the plant to recover from a snip. Just pin the coconut coir mat down with some loose gravel, and watch your Baby Tears take over!
