Favorite plant from ACO

[Robstar]

If you could have an unlimited amount of any 1 plant from the coop, what would you pick? and why?

I couldn't choose...I love variety LOL.  But my favorite plants so far are the Crinum calamastratum because it looks so great in my very tall aquarium (it's 36x12" wide, but 24" tall) and the tiger lotus because of its beauty.  Both of those have grown beautifully in my tank.  Edit: ANUBIAS NANA PETITE too!!!  Omg I love that plant.

In general, I also adore all cryptocorynes and aponogetons, but so far I have not had a lot of luck with them (from anyone, not just Aquarium Co-op).  I've bought maybe 50 different cryptocorynes over the last 2 years, and maybe a half-dozen thrived.  The rest died and the only difference is how long it took them to die - about a dozen are still "limping" along but they haven't bounced back in the last 2-6 months so I doubt they'll return.  I just bought two Cryptocoryne wendtii from Co-op and I'm experimenting with leaving them in their pots for a few weeks before planting them in my aquasoil. We shall see.  Aponogetons - I bought one A. crispus that didn't make it, and just bought A. ulvaceous, which I'm subjecting to the same pot experiment.

Editing to add: I keep tanks with fish from slow-moving, blackwater streams in Southeast Asia so over the last two years I've transitioned to lower-light plants...so I've never bought stem plants from the Co-op.  I do want some java moss and java fern though...next order!

It would also be tough for me to narrow down, but I also really enjoy the tiger lotus.

Probably ammannia gracilis, mostly because it seems like the coops hardest plant to grow and I want endless free tries 😂

I purchased 2 Anubias Gold Coin from The Coop and I love them so much 2 more just arrived today 😉

I want to do a whole scape with them a species only tank of Dwarf Chain Loaches. It would be insane all Anubias Gold Coin and Dwarf Chain Loaches.

I also really like the Anubias gold coin, it looks great and has been easy to care for. I would have a tough time choosing though! The tiger and red drawf are also really lovely.

Anything that grows right now.  I just received some Pogostemon, micro sword and a dwarf aquarium lily.

Dwarf Aquarium Lilly. It provides some good accent color amongst all of the other green plants.

PSO! I have plenty of plants from the Co-Op, but PSO has by far outgrown everything else

Definitely Pogostemon stellatus. It was one of the first plants I ever got, and I think one of the first I really succeeded with. It can be used in a bunch of different ways, and my LFS can't get it shipped in well, so bit of store credit for me as well.
