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 :)
Good shop aqua essentials. Good quality plants, healthy and plenty of choice . Well packed, quick postage. Would recommend
I've been getting my plants from Aqua essentials, for a while now, and they all come well packed and quickly. They have been good quality and do well growing in my aquarium. The prices are fair too. Would recommend
Easy purchasing and check out with various payment methods accepted. Web easy to access with a good search engine.
was very impressed with the plants this time even though I had 4 of the same plant. they're in the best condition yet and it's been rapid delivery. normally All of the not so perfect plsnts don't survive but as long as i get half im happy. but 5hese this time were phenomenal condition and I will add the arrival confirmation planted condition and also a week or two from now.
Allways a good experience , fast delivery , really well packed .

Hi Richard,
Great clip!
I believe it did it all wrong. I bought one of your selection of 20 potted plants a few weeks back. Not really knowing what to do I planted them into my new 275 liter tank including the pots and of course the rook wool. I used a substrate which I covered with some medium corse gravel. From time to time after cleaning you can see the odd pot rim looking out of the gravel. The plants don’t really seem to mind and grew quite happily and I have to trim them back regularly.
Would you recommend removing the pots now? I’m worried that I will damage to much of the roots which are already growing into the substrate.
Many thanks,
Joe
