We get asked this question a lot. So rather than writing a blog post on it, I thought I would make a YouTube clip (my first one!). Anyway, actions speak louder than words so watch the clip below :)
I have had the plants about three weeks now and so far so good. If Aqua Essentials could please provide a list of easy to grow plants. I know Co2 instruction is ideal but i am not sure how that is achieved or the cost of doing that?
Needed plants to fill space . Delivered quickly, plant is strong and healthy and vibrant colour. Looks great in tank.
I love setting up new tanks with fresh plants that after 2 weeks already have new leaves
Fast delivery and plants arrived in great condition i am now waiting to monitor the growth in my nee set up and then I will be placing a further order.
I bought two XL. I’m very pleased with the plants and plan to buy more in the future.
Plant was great and a nice big surprise. I might use luck dip again
This is the second time I've bought from this shop and both times products arrived in good time and in very good shape. Plants are always a decent size and healthy
I’ve ordered the XL Hastifolia several times before and yet again, my last ones arrived pristine, well packaged and looked stunning as soon as they went into my aquarium

Haha :)
No worries.
Maybe I should have read the instructions before getting started.
I’ll keep you updated how the plants are doing.

The thin roots growing out of your stem plants is normal and you’ll be fighting a loosing battle if you take on that challenge. If I were you I would accept it and try not to let it bother you :)
But let me know how you get on with your pots as I’m sure you’re not the only one who has planted them.
Richard,
Thanks for your prompt reply. Some of the plants have thin roots growing out of their stems which doesn’t look very attractive. Other than that they all look happy and need regular trimming.
I might try to free some of them out of the pots. Let’s see how they are doing.
Cheers,
Joe
Glad you like it Joe :)
As you have already planted them, probably best to leave them. They will throw out roots anyway.
If any plants look like they are struggling, you may need to remove them from their pots, as ultimately that is what they need.
Does this help?
