Ay, corymbosa!

I ordered four of these to grow emersed in a floating planter. They arrived in great shape, bushy and verdant. I repotted them into 9cm baskets and they’re beginning to settle in. Very happy with the quality!

Whenever i need some tank plants i always go to aqua essentials. Decent price. Good packaging. And if royal mail do their job the plants at the end of their journey are top notch. No snail infestations either.

Grows FAST!

This stuff grows insanely fast. It’s more than quadrupled in size in two weeks. I am a beginner, these are the first plants I’ve kept, and they are certainly a success. Too successful actually, they need trimming down asap! Could end up being annoying when I’m having to constantly trim!

Superb Plants

When I ordered two of these plants I thought they would be quite small and I would have to wait for them to grow. I was delighted when I opened the box and found two tall plants which were in excellent health and had been packaged well. Just what I wanted for the place in my aquarium. When I need more plants I will order them from here again. Highly recommended.

Beautiful Plant!

Beautiful plant from a very good and extremely helpful seller. As a beginner to aquascaping I needed to ask questions and this seller answered them all. Giving me confidence to continue and place an order. The order was delivered the next day and the plants were very healthy. I will certainly purchase from them again.

Love the colour

I really love this plant but think because I am so new to real plants in my tank I was abit taken back by it, just getting it out of its pot and getting the stuff off the roots was stressing me out because the roots where well grown into it so every bit I took off had roots in it but it seems to be doing well need to research the plant more because roots are growing on the stems then they detach on there own not sure its ment to do that or not but I have just been replanting them
