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.

Commonly known as Madagascar Lace Leaf this beautiful plant has been grown by Aqua Essentials and is potted ready for your aquarium. So before we discuss the plant, let's touch on why a plant grown by Aqua Essentials (AE) is important?

We feel this is an important step for UK hobbyists for several reasons. Not only do we know and understand a lot more about this particular plant but they also have much less environmental impact.

  • they're not shipped across the world (better for environment)
  • they're not stressed from shipping (adjust better to your aquarium)
  • they're growing right up to the minute they are dispatched and if you choose Express Delivery at the checkout (please do for the plant's sake) they generally arrive the next working day with tracking provided and a 1 hour delivery window.

So when buying this plant, you buy with confidence and minimal environmental impact and that's something we are very passionate and proud about.

Now onto the plant...

The leaves have a lattice texture and can vary in size depending on its origin. Generally, the leaves are relatively broad and the lattice effect of the leaves is almost web like and very decorative. The plant grows in the aquarium under basic conditions which means this plant is suitable for beginners and up.

In terms of positioning, the background is a suitable location. Simply drop it into the chosen location and leave it be. It will throw roots down and anchor itself. Feel free to leave it in the pot - it's grown well for us like this.

Note: picture is an example of the plant you will receive. Some may have fewer leaves, some may have more - totally depended on 'where they are' in their growing cycle. If you are very specific and want to know how many leaves they currently have, contact us before buying.

A stunning plant!
When it arrived, out of the 5 leaves it originally had, only 2 (one almost grown and another small one) leaves were whole. The rest had broken stems. That's t be expected though - this is an extremely fragile plant (due to the leaf structure as well as it having only single stems, which are prone to breaking) and I was honestly expecting 1 or 0 leaves, got 1.5 so it was a win!
What is the most important, though, is the bulb - that's what ultimately needs to be alive and as long as it is, will pop out more beautiful leaves. My lace plant did just that. I have her as my scape's centrepiece, in 0.5-1cm gravel substrate, with a root tab supplied near her roots every 4-5 months, moderate water flow and front row to the 40W light (amazon off-brand aquarium LED but with a solid light output), no CO2, usual ferts, and she's thriving.

Couldn't be more happy with it. But with confidence!

Cheers,

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...

We guarantee you'll be happy with your order. But if you're not, please contact us so we can resolve. We are 100% here to help and will always do our best to resolve any issues - that's a promise.
