Tropica Taxiphyllum barbieri Bogor Moss 1-2-GROW!

Lovely little plant attached to rock for ease of placement.
Arrived quickly and in perfect condition.

This was my first order from **Aqua Essentials**, and overall it was an excellent experience.

It was particularly good to find that they stocked all but three items on my fairly extensive plant list, and those three were easily substituted. That made a refreshing change from the frustration I had been having elsewhere with plants constantly showing as out of stock or unavailable.

I also liked the fact that, although Aqua Essentials clearly caters very well for the aquascaping side of the hobby, the range doesn’t feel heavily weighted towards aquascapers alone. There seemed to be plenty available for aquarists with all sorts of planted aquarium requirements.

Ordering was straightforward and the website was easy to navigate. My only small suggestion would be the addition of a simple **print-your-order facility**, which I would have found useful with a larger order.

Delivery was excellent. I placed the order on Friday evening, so naturally it wasn’t processed until Monday, but it was dispatched promptly and arrived before 9am on Tuesday.

Everything was extremely well packaged and clearly packed with care — so thank you, Chris.

The condition of the plants was impressive throughout. The Cryptocorynes in particular had fantastic, strong root systems, although in truth that quality and substance was evident across almost the entire order. The one XL plant I ordered actually turned out to contain **four substantial individual plants in the pot**, which was an unexpected bonus and excellent value.

My only slight reservation is the Tiger Lily, which looked a little sorry for itself once removed from the rock wool — although in fairness the rock wool virtually fell away from it. It has now been planted, so we will see how it develops. This is my first time keeping this particular plant, so it may well be perfectly normal.

Overall, thank you to everyone at Aqua Essentials for making my first order such an easy and enjoyable experience. The plants are now in place, and all that remains is to sit back and watch my **850-litre aquarium** hopefully come alive over the coming months. 😀

Really happy with this Java Moss coconut. It arrived in good condition and looks great in my aquarium. My shrimp love hiding and exploring around it. Great little addition to the tank! 🦐🌿

Great product, great service and a really good price from Aquaessentials. I can highly recommend this company.

Very nice live plant, arrived looking very healthy, great addition for my axolotl!

Lovely healthy lotus about 8” high with good roots. Plenty of leave and after a week or so of being in the tank it’s kicking out new growth. Great quality and service from AquaEssentials as usual.

Ordered the 120l aquarium kit for a new setup we’d bought my dad for his retirement and I was blown away by the variety and quality of the items provided.

Everything was in perfect condition on arrival and, despite sourcing the wood locally, everything just worked around it.

My dad is over the moon with how it came out and the aquarium looks like it’s been established for a while already.

Highly recommend and would definitely shop here again

Much better than I anticipated , glued to rocks and looks amazing. Been in 2 weeks and new growth apparent. Looks amazing trailing downwards and wow do my shrimps love it.
Delivery great as normal with this company and will definitely buy here again 😀 👍.

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.

Fabulous item and my shrimps were using it within minutes. Arrived earlier than expected and really well packed. Totally covered in healthy moss which is growing already. Have since ordered some plants on rocks and delighted with them too. Would highly recommend

Better than I was expecting and the service was very good 👍🏻

Lovely little plant in great condition and already starting to sprout new leaves. This is one of the best conditioned ferns I have ever got.

So happy with my plants I received chose the 12 mystery box as not disappointed great company and plants will totally recommend

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.

Did not expect the Lagenandra to look so good I love it. Great order again, fast arrival, & no issues 👌🏼
