    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.

    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.

    Ammania sp. ‘Bonsai’ is best described as a compact, moderate growing version of Bacopa caroliniana. Plant in small groups and trim often. Cuttings may be re-planted in the group to achieve a more dense group or carpet. At high light may the tip of the stems become reddish, at lower light will the leaves become larger and the plant less compact. Ammania sp. ‘Bonsai’ are particularly suitable for nano-aquariums.

    The leaves looked healthy on arrival. Upon opening the roots looked like mush and smelled rotten. Attempted to plant anyway but they melted away and died within a week

    Great plant, the pots are quite small, so they will take several months to really reach a good height. But as long as you are patient, then all good. Very good quality, I like it they are guaranteed free from snails. That was particularly important to me. Overall really happy. It's taken about 4 months for them to get to about 20 to 25cm.

    Review

    Different from all the pictures I\'ve seen of ammania bonsai, but I would guess that is not Aquaessentials fault. I\'ve bought from two different brands and suppliers, and when this plant develops it looks more like Rotala rotundifolia or an hybrid than like Rotala/Ammania bonsai.

    Gorgeous plant. I bought this and some HC Cuba from the 'Tissue Culture Plants' range and the quality is exceptional: bright, healthy leaves and strong roots. Although this range is a little more expensive, the difference in quality is noticeable. I hate buying plants and having to pick dead bits off before I plant them. Would definitely recommend! Delivery was next day too.

    These 12grow products are just amazing. They are completely free from all diseases, bacteria, snail..ect. I have recently reshaped my project and have now only used these and will only ever use 12grow plants from now on. Very clever idea and a must for a healthy tank....

    Mixed feelings about this plant. It looks nothing like the picture, even if you take the flowers out. After 4 weeks it has probably doubled in size but it is still looking worse for wear. Its a personal thing but I will leave it alone in future.

    Product details

    1. Grown in a laboratory

    Tissue Cultured Plants are unique in so much as they are grown in a laboratory and not a greenhouse. As a result of this, a cast iron guarantee is offered which is 100% so snails and no pesticides.

    2. How to handle them

    They're a bit different from potted plants because they're grown in an agae solution that contains nutrients and hormones to encrougage plants to grow. Some agar is liquid, others are more solid depending on what the growers prefers. Regardless once they arrive with you, acclimatise to room temperature and then rinse under luke warm tap water. Then plant up.

    3. Pot sizes

    Nearly all TC pots are 5cm in diameter and the pots will range in fullness depending on many factors such as the natural growth speed of the plant and the time the grower has held them for. Sometimes the pots are exceptionally full and sometimes not so full - something we cannot control. But either way, they're still really good value when you look at the overall plant mass.
