Plant Sizes
The image of the plant you'll be receiving is just an example of what you can expect. Each plant is unique and may vary in size and shape, so it won't be an exact match to the photo. If we provide a size guide, keep in mind that it's just an estimate and that plants can vary in size depending on the time of year.
our delivery promise to you
If you choose Express Delivery, we will replace any plants that are damaged due to delays. Express Delivery is a fast, trackable, and reliable option with a one hour delivery window. It also ensures that the plants will arrive in the same condition as when they left our facility. If you choose a different postage option, such as Tracked 24 or Tracked 48, you will not be covered for any damages due to delays and will assume the risk yourself if the plants do not arrive in good condition. Express Delivery includes an insurance policy, which may cost more but provides added peace of mind.
If you order before 4pm we dispatch the same working day (Mon-Fri). Shipping prices start at £4.99 depending on the speed of delivery required.
Anubias Nana is a slow growing beautiful plant. The leaves are dark and light green in colour and have a waxy, shininess to them. Originating from Cameroon this small plant will thrive in most conditions. You must ensure this plant is not covered by larger plants as it may rot. Can be grown in a wide range of aquariums and needs to be tied to wood to flourish. We recommend a wood such as Aquadistri Driftwood.
A lily looking white flower will appear every so often and is a sign of a happy plant.
Conditions:
- Ideal water chemistry is pH 6-8.4.
- Can be kept in a low to high light environment.
- Suitable in both CO2 and non CO2 tanks.
- Foreground plant.
- Preferred water temperature is 24-30 degree.
Note - the picture is a guide only and what you receive may be smaller (or larger) than the picture as we are not the growers and therefore cannot control the size. If you need to know specifically what size the plant is that we have atm, drop us an email and we can let you know.
Product details
1. Go large
Xl Plants are the biggest plants available to hobbyists and sometimes extremely impressive, especially in the summer time. Pots are typically 9cm+ but the range is fairly limited so if you see one you like, best to go for it.
Why is the range limited in the winter?
Plants grow much slower due to the weather and the cost to heat gigantic greenhouses. As a result, in the cooler months plants are typically 30-40% smaller than they are in the warmer months.
2. Planting up
Due to their size, they're best positioned towards the back of your aquarium. Of course, some of them will be better tied onto wood or rock (like Anubias). It is possible to leave these plants in their pots if you prefer, but we always recommend that where possible, you take them out of their pots and rockwool, and plant them in a nutrient rich soil. Bear in mind the plants may have extensive root structure but this can be trimmed prior to planting.
3. Feeding
How much food do they need?
Due to their size, larger plants need much more food than the 5cm potted plants so this has to be considered when planting.
What fertilisers should I offer?
We always recommend using both a nutrient rich fertiliser and a liquid carbon for all plants. Use Neutro T as a liquid fertiliser and Neutro CO2 for your carbon. Both are available in big bottles and if you are injecting pressurised CO2, sway the Neutro T for Neutro+.
Are root tabs needed?
If you want to get the best from your plants, so they stay strong, grow faster and produce better colours then yes. Use TerraTabs for best results. Insert 3 under each XL plant every 4 months.
