This is a surprise box of plants that will vary each week depending on what aquarium plants we have in stock, making it one of the best ways to buy aquarium plants online. You will not find better quality anywhere - we guarantee you that.

    You now have 2 choices - choose whether you want:

    Standard - selection of plants from the main area of the greenhouse.
    Premium - selection from entire greenhouse where our premium priced plants are added along with rare or slow growing species that simply cost more.

    Mixed boxes are perfect for anyone who's considering setting up a planted aquarium but are looking for an economical start with the highest quality aquarium plants available in the UK. If you're planning to buy aquarium plants online, this curated selection removes the guesswork. You may not be sure which plants to choose so leave it up to us and we will do the selecting for you. Our expert Plant Manager knows just what looks right with the correct colour combinations and sizes.

    Features:

    A selection of foreground, midground and background plants.
    A combination of either all potted plants from the greenhouse OR a mix of potted plants and tissue cultured plants (which allows for the very best selection, range and colours).
    Great saving.

    Once you receive these plants we know you'll be absolutely delighted with the choice and quality. Aqua Essentials has an amazing reputation for quality and we always live up to it. Once you receive your mixed box, it's entirely up to you as to how you plant them in your aquarium. Always remove them from their pots and rockwool and then give them space to grow.

    Don't forget your fertilisers when choosing your plants. Without fertilisers, you don't give plants the food they need to grow. We use Neutro Fertilisers in our nursery and we recommend you do too.

    Ordered this as I didn’t want to have to start

    Ordered this as I didn’t want to have to start from scratch. Firstly was very impressed with the care that the plant had received during packaging, arrived look fresh and healthy, put in my newly purchased betta tank and was immediately impressed. One week later still looking good and showing no signs of decline. Look to purchase more plants on wood it the near future. Would highly recommend.

    Love it

    Ive been wanting to plant my not so very planted shrimp tank up for months, and ive been trying to find the best plants to look nice (large in the back to smallest in the foreground) and i come across the scaped for you section. I am pretty much a novice at planting tanks as this is my first ever time doing it. Firstly id say that while this does come with a layout guide, it is only a guide and not a "how to" because it is only an image that is provided and nothing else. This isnt a bad thing of course because your tank is you own and you can do whatever you want with it. It took me about 2-3 hours to fully complete how i wanted it and set it up with the plants and after a few days of settling in looks so much better than i expected it. I love it and i think my shrimps do too :) - one thing to note i would say is if youre buying spider wood, make sure you weight it down or soak it for a long time before putting it in the tank as your first placement will most definitely float and cause some frustration. Id definitely buy this or another scaped for you option in the future if i wanted to do this again.

    First time ordering plants online and I now have a permanent source. Not only cheaper but so much better than previous purchases I’ve made in store.

    Can’t make a single complaint, next day delivery, great packaging no damage anything. And the moss balls are so tiny I love it. Can’t wait to add them to the tank.

    They include little care sheets to figure out how to properly care for your plants if needed. Will be coming back when I’m ready to move forward with the next plants. Great company ☺️

    Neutro CO₂ - Liquid Carbon for planted aquariums
    Shaun R.
    Does the job (along with Neutro T) in a low-tech tank

    I've been using Neutro CO₂ along with Neutro T Aquarium Plant Fertiliser daily for a few months now to revive a neglected low-tech tank. It seems to be doing the job - the plants are recovering and the algae issues are hugely improved. I double dose Neutro CO₂ with no problems (although it did create a lot of organic sediment when first using as the algae died off - easily removed with regular syphoning and water changes).
