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 :)
Quick effective and all in order. Plants in individual pockets within a further package bag all inside a generous sized postage package. All plants looking healthy so fingers crossed all with grow and give viewing pleasure for years to come
I ordered a tropica 1-2 grow Anubius barteri nana and some water spangles, both plants were healthy.
The water spangles has a couple snails on them but thats to be expected.
The only issue i faced was with tracking my order, but that may have been on Royal Mail's side.
Always a good selection good delivery too. Tropical plants have in proved over the years.
Good shop aqua essentials. Good quality plants, healthy and plenty of choice . Well packed, quick postage. Would recommend

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?
