Live aquarium plants

Selection of true aquatic species of top quality aquarium plants

Includes selection of both rooted plants and stem cuttings

Plants in a range of sizes and colours for a complete setup

Pay one shipping fee for multiple items.

To avoid confusion: these packs contain a mix of rooted and stem plants. Stem plants are around 8 inches in length and do not have roots. 1 stem = 1 plant. All plants can be planted into the substrate and will grow roots very quickly, some within a matter of days, assuming they are given the correct conditions in your aquarium for them to root. (Java Fern should be tied to rock or wood, the rhizomes need to be above the substrate)

The main photo shows established aquarium with many of the species we generally include in our packs. These are all true aquatic species, that naturally grow completely submerged. Subsequent photos show close ups of some of the species we may include.

The plants are not bunched or weighted, they can be planted easily in substrate 2 to 3 inches deep and grade no more coarse than 4mm. We do sell bunched plant packs and packs specifically for coldwater tanks separately in our shop:

Packing Information:

Please note the photos provided are for illustration purposes only - actual plants may vary in colour, size, shape & leaf growth. Please be aware that growing conditions may affect plant size.

The product sizes detailed represent the plants potential growth in the correct conditions, helping you determine best planting locations

Some species of plants do not have roots - such as elodea densa. This is expected - they are known as stem plants. New roots will develop within a few days of planting in the aquarium.

Shrimp Guidelines:

We work with numerous suppliers worldwide and as a legal requirement to enter the UK - the plants have to be safe for the aquarium environment. They are perfectly safe to be added to fish aquariums.

If keeping shrimp or mollusks of any kind please ensure you follow the below information:

(We cannot be held responsible for any shrimps or snails dying)

Rinse Thoroughly : Carefully rinse all plants before planting them in your aquarium.

Test with One Stem : Introduce a single stem into your aquarium & observe your shrimp. If they begin swimming erratically or display unusual behavior, promptly remove the plants & place them in a separate container with fresh water for 48 hours.

Re-Test After 48 Hours : Reintroduce a stem & monitor your shrimp again. If no adverse behavior is observed, you can gradually add more stems, continuing to observe your shrimp's behaviour.

Plants may require a 7-day soaking period before being added to a shrimp or mollusk aquarium to ensure safety.

Only In vitro plants are 100% shrimp-safe and can be planted immediately without the need for soaking. These are detailed as such in our shop. If the plants are not detailed as In Vitro then they cannot be guaranteed shrimp safe species
