Description

The Not So Perfect bundle includes 3 plants or plant decors that fall below our usual retail standard. Rather than recycling them, we’re giving them one last chance with someone who knows their way around plant care.

These plants or plant decor are included due to cosmetic damage picked up during transport to us. With the right care, many will recover, but this bundle is best suited to experienced plant keepers who are comfortable nursing plants back to health.

Plant selection is completely random. You cannot request or exclude foreground, mid-ground or background plants. It is entirely potluck, please don’t ask, as it will only lead to disappointment.

You may receive:

  • Potted plants

  • Bunch plants

  • Tissue culture plants

  • Plants on decor 

You may also receive multiple plants or plants on decor of the same species or type.

Plants are supplied without tags, labels, plastic pots or plant weights.

Images are for illustration only. These plants are not perfect, and that is exactly the point.

Plant Sizes

You’ll receive a healthy, rooted plant in a pot, similar to those shown. Each one is hand-checked before dispatch.

Shipping

Same-day dispatch on orders placed before 4pm, Monday to Friday. Tracked 24 Service from £4.99, DPD Express from £6.99.

Not So Perfect Plant - Aqua Essentials

Budget-friendly aquatic plant bundles requiring TLC. Customers said "great value" with mixed conditions on arrival - some thrive quickly while others need patience. "Quick delivery, well packaged."

Almost What I Expected

The plants were in the condition I anticipated but in fairness a bit better. I do think it's a shame they don't come supplied with the pots and weights however, this is stated in the listing but it would be useful to have them. The photo attached was what I received in total for 3 bundles combined.

Healthy and quality plants

Just ordered two to be on the safe side and now do I wish I had ordered more. One plant was a bit tired looking and a few brown leaves. But it perked up once I put it into the tank. The others.. I do not know what was wrong with them but they are perfectly fine. I can't wait for this to be back in stock. I got a nice variety of foreground and mid ground plants.

Great choice

I received 2 of the same species and one different. I don't know what they are but once they grow a bit I can identify them with pictures. They were quite beat up and a few stems melted but none of them fully died so I'm quite happy.

Not so perfect plants, what else can I say!! They arrived in pretty poor condition (because they’re not so perfect!) with some of them looking dead. However, after being in my tank for a week, only 2 have died and I bought 9 plants.

Really bad

I have had "not so perfect plants" before and some of the plants are good But this time not one plant was any good they were all rotting really disappointed and they were all the same plant except for one but they were all rotten. Would have sent a picture but I had to clean my aquarium because they were all floating bits and I didn't want my fish to get ill

Great plants

This was a purchase of the 'Tired' plants..no complaints from me. Placed into the aquarium added the good old CO2 and they parked up straight away after the postal journey.
5⭐️as always.

Excellent

We received 2: packs of not-so-perfect plants and were very impressed. Nice selection - not all the same, one stunning shocking-pink underleafed plant, others were plants we didn’t already have. They looked a bit sad on day one, but are doing extremely well now - day 5. Great bargain, thankyou.

It all came well packaged I ordered 10 and the only one that seemed to bad was a Java fern but that just meant cutting it back and being patient for it to grow new they are all growing well even getting new sprouts in places already my fish are extremely happy so all I can say is for the price and a bit of patience you can’t go wrong

Bought three of these. Lovely variety was sent, the plants have recovered well and are on the mend. Thought two apparently require co2 they have been coping without so far. Definitely would recommend to choose as to me was worth the lucky dip

Honestly if you're looking for a great bargain ot a little project in getting plants back up the scratch start here. It's pot luck but I've never fully lost a plant as long as you take the time and care. Amazing as always

Plants in Farley good condition considering they had been in transit over a weekend and it was cold. I purchased 10 plant and got a selection of 3 grout mid and back would of be nice to see at least 5 but ha Ho. But apart from that pretty good for £1 each would definitely recommend as it a good cheap way of planting your tank.
