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.
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.
Hygrophila araguaia is a captivating aquatic plant that, when grown on driftwood, adds a stunning and natural touch to a planted aquarium. Here are 4 reasons why Hygrophila 'Araguaia' on driftwood looks great in a planted aquarium:
Hygrophila araguaia features distinctively shaped leaves that are narrow and pointed, giving it a unique and eye-catching look. When grown on driftwood, the plant's elongated leaves create a graceful and flowing effect, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the aquarium. The vibrant green colour of Hygrophila araguaia provides a striking contrast against the earthy tones of the driftwood. This contrast adds depth and visual interest to the aquarium, making it visually appealing. The combination of the plant's lush foliage and the rustic texture of the driftwood creates a harmonious and natural environment.
When Hygrophila araguaia is attached to driftwood, it tends to grow in a cascading manner, with its stems arching gracefully over the wood. This growth pattern mimics the way plants grow in their natural habitats, giving the aquarium a more organic and realistic appearance. The flowing structure of the plant on the driftwood creates a sense of movement and adds a dynamic element to the aquascape. Hygrophila araguaia is known for being relatively easy to care for, making it suitable for both beginner and experienced aquarists. It can adapt to a wide range of water conditions and lighting intensities. When attached to driftwood, the plant's maintenance becomes even more straightforward, as it doesn't require substrate planting. Regular pruning to maintain its desired shape and prevent overcrowding is typically the main maintenance task.
In conclusion, Hygrophila araguaia on driftwood enhances the visual appeal of a planted aquarium with its unique appearance, contrasting colours, natural growth pattern, versatile placement options, and low maintenance requirements. Adding this combination to your aquascape can create a captivating and picturesque underwater landscape.

I have had the plants about three weeks now and so far so good. If Aqua Essentials could please provide a list of easy to grow plants. I know Co2 instruction is ideal but i am not sure how that is achieved or the cost of doing that?
Fast delivery and plants arrived in great condition i am now waiting to monitor the growth in my nee set up and then I will be placing a further order.
This is the second time I've bought from this shop and both times products arrived in good time and in very good shape. Plants are always a decent size and healthy

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 ☺️
