Plant Sizes
Just wanted to give you a heads up that the image of the plant you'll be receiving is just an example of what you can expect. Each plant is unique and may vary in size and shape, so it won't be an exact match to the photo. If we provide a size guide, keep in mind that it's just an estimate and that plants can vary in size depending on the time of year.
Our Delivery Promise to you
If you choose Express Delivery, we will replace any plants that are damaged due to delays. Express Delivery is a fast, trackable, and reliable option with a one hour delivery window. It also ensures that the plants will arrive in the same condition as when they left our facility. If you choose a different postage option, such as Tracked 24 or Tracked 48, you will not be covered for any damages due to delays and will assume the risk yourself if the plants do not arrive in good condition. Express Delivery includes an insurance policy, which may cost more but provides added peace of mind.
If you order before 4pm we dispatch the same working day (Mon-Fri). Shipping prices start at £4.99 depending on the speed of delivery required.
One of the most popular planted aquarium plants, this little beauty will transform your tank. Hemianthus callitrichoides originates from Cuba and is one of the smallest aquarium plants. With round leaves that are only millimetre's in size.
If planted in clumps a few cm apart it will spread rapidly creating a carpet look over the bottom. It is not a difficult plant, but it requires good conditions such as enough light, added CO2, water circulation and fertilizer to thrive. If these conditions are hard to create, you may use Micranthemum ‘Monte-Carlo’ as an alternative, as it is less demanding.
Small pearls or bubbles of oxygen are often produced on top of the plants, adding a very lively aspect to the carpet.
If planted in small clumps a few centimetres apart, it will spread rapidly and cover the bottom like a carpet. Trim the carpet regularly, otherwise, the lower parts will not get enough light causing root death.
1 pot per 15x15cm area. Split each pot into 12 and leave 10mm of rockwool at the bottom of each clump to anchor it down in the substrate. Use tweezers and plant up. Ensure CO2 is washed over this plant otherwise it has a tendency to melt.
