Plant Sizes

Just wanted to give you a heads up that 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.

Crinum calamistratum originated in Cameroon, these plants produce strong, crinkled leaves that can reach up to 80cm in length in the wild. A happy plant will produce flower stalks amongst the upper leaves.

These plants do not require strong light but they do prefer gentle movement in the water, placing them near an outflow pipe would be ideal. To get the most attractive results use Crinum calamistratum on its own.

Looks lovely

I wanted a tall but thin plant, for the front of my aquarium, to squeeze between 2 ceramic urns. I also wanted a plant that my plecs wouldn’t destroy. I’ve put this in and it looks great, as do all plants from aqua essentials, a big thank you to Richard once again.

This looked little out of sorts on arrival . Could be the winter cold whilst in transit . The stems just all lay flat on the bottom of the tank. Now after 3 days they look a lot better and are now rising upwards . Looking like a good buy now.

I recently brought this plant for my aquarium and love it, my fish really seem to enjoy swimming amongst it. The plant arrived healthy, nicely packed and quick.

A little bit smaller than expected with only 4 stalks, one of which dropped off after a few hours jn the tank.

Bit pricey for the size of bulb that arrived, but several long healthy green leaves and well rooted bulb, and seems to have settled into my tank nicely. Haven't seen it cheaper/in my local stores so still worthwhile.

Your plants will be wrapped with recyclable Honey Comb wrap - sounds cool because it is :). It interlocks which means we don't need to use tape either, reducing our impact on the environment.

Not only is delivery fast with DPD Express but it's also green as they offset all the carbon their vehicles produce. Guilt free delivery which we're very proud of...
