    About Mixed Boxes

    Mixed Boxes are the best way to add lots of plants into your aquarium without the hassle of having to choose the plants - leave it up to the experts!

    Our plant manager will persoanlly pick your plants choosing a range of foreground, midground and background plants. All mixed boxes have a range of colours and sizes so when they arrive with you, it looks beautiful immediately.

    What size should I choose?

    Select the mixed box that is closest to your aquarium taking into consideration any wood or rocks you already have in there. If that's the case, try the next size down.

    Can I request specific plants in a Mixed Box?

    You can't request specific plants but if you'd like more foreground than background for eg, shoot us a message and we'll see what we can do for you.

    Description

    Create a dense, jungle-style aquascape in your aquarium with this hand-picked mix of aquarium plants, chosen by our Plant Manager for the layered canopy look this style is known for.

    A Jungle Style aquascape uses tall plants and bulbs to form a leafy canopy, with bold, big-leaved plants beneath and a wild, unstructured foreground. Plants compete naturally for light and space, giving the layout its characteristic dense, chaotic feel β€” deliberately less formal than a Dutch-style tank, and rewarding once established.

    A few things to keep in mind when planning your layout:

    • Tall plants and bulbs form the canopy layer
    • Bold, big-leaved plants sit below, mixed for contrast in colour and texture
    • Foreground planting can be wild and irregular rather than neatly arranged
    • Aim for limited open space, so the tank feels full and established

    Each box includes a mix of canopy, midground and foreground aquarium plants suited to this style, plus one Anubias or Microsorum plant you can attach to driftwood using fine line or fishing line for extra realism (wood and floating plants pair well with this look but are not included).

    As with all our mixed boxes, the exact plants vary week to week depending on what is freshest in stock, so no two boxes are quite the same β€” in keeping with the wild, natural character of a jungle aquascape.

    Sizes run from 50L (12 pots) up to 500L (120 pots), so there is a box matched to your tank. Every plant is packed fresh from our UK facility and arrives ready to plant.

    Product FAQs

    Helpful details before you buy.

    What is a Jungle Style Aquascape?

    A jungle aquascape recreates a wild jungle scene using tall plants and bulbs to form a canopy, with bold, differently textured plants filling the space below for a natural, slightly chaotic look.

    What plants come in the Jungle Style Mixed Box?

    You'll receive a mix of tall canopy plants plus smaller foreground varieties, along with either an Anubias or Microsorum plant that can be attached to wood using fishing line for extra effect.

    Is wood included in this box?

    No, wood isn't included. The Anubias or Microsorum plant in your box is designed to be attached to wood you already have, or purchase separately, for the classic jungle look.

    How many pots do I need for my tank?

    Choose the box size closest to your tank: 50L needs 12 pots, 100L needs 24, 150L needs 36, 200L needs 48, and 300L needs 72.

    Can I add floating plants to enhance the jungle effect?

    Yes, floating plants (not included) work well with this style, adding to the canopy effect and helping create that dense, jungle feel.
