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 :)
Went very well.Slightly apprehensive as the Courier is Royal Mail and from our experience they are unreliable but this time everything was fine.
Absolutely fantastic plants and service, I've been buying from aquaessentials since 2017 and will continue to do so, plants are super healthy and always look great in the tanks, the website is great and they also list alternatives to the plants you want incase they are sold out,
I would recommend them to everyone
Great shop, all plants are healthy and generous, arrived quickly and was kept informed by email every step of the way. I would definitely get my plants from here again when I need more....
Excellent quality and selection of plants. Will always get my plants in the future from this company. Delivery is quick.
received my plant in excellent condition.much bigger than expected and has settled in well and looks great .I have bought many plants fromAE and have never been disappointed,always high quality

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?
