Mixed Boxes of Aquarium Plants | Starter Plant Bundles

FAQs

How many plants do I need for my aquarium?

Our mixed boxes are sized by tank volume — choose the box that matches your aquarium capacity: 25L (6 pots), 50L (12 pots), 75L (18 pots), 100L (24 pots), 150L (36 pots), 200L (48 pots), 300L (72 pots), or 500L (120 pots). If you want a fuller, denser planting from day one, choose one size up. If you have a lot of hardscape like wood and rocks already in the tank, choose one size down.

What is in a mixed box of aquarium plants?

Each live aquarium plant bundle contains a hand-picked selection of foreground, mid-ground, and background species chosen by our Plant Manager. The exact plants vary each week depending on what is freshest in stock — this ensures you always receive plants at their best rather than species that have been sitting in storage. Standard boxes contain core greenhouse plants; Premium boxes include rarer and slow-growing specialist varieties.

Are the plant bundles suitable for beginners?

Yes — our aquarium plant bundles are one of the best options for beginners precisely because you do not need to research which species are compatible or how to combine foreground, mid-ground, and background plants. Each beginner aquarium plant bundle includes care sheets so you know exactly how to plant and maintain each species. Our Plant Manager selects hardy, easy-care varieties for Standard boxes, making them ideal for a first planted aquarium starter kit.

Can I request specific plants in my bundle?

You cannot specify individual species in a mixed box of aquarium plants — the selection is made by our Plant Manager based on what is freshest and most vibrant in stock each week. However, you can leave a note at checkout with preferences such as "more foreground plants", "no red plants", or "suitable for shrimp" and we will do our best to accommodate. For complete control over species selection, browse our individual aquarium plants collection.

What is the difference between Standard and Premium plant bundles?

Standard aquarium plant bundles are selected from our core greenhouse range — healthy, fully rooted plants that suit most community aquariums and beginner setups. Premium bundles include selection from our entire greenhouse, adding rarer, slow-growing, and higher-value species not available in the Standard range. If you are an experienced aquascaper or want the widest variety of colours and species in your live aquarium plant bundle, Premium is the better choice.

Aquarium Plant Bundles — Let the Experts Choose for You

Our aquarium plant bundles take the guesswork out of setting up a planted tank. Instead of spending hours researching compatible species, our experienced Plant Manager hand-picks a balanced selection of foreground, mid-ground, and background live plants — chosen specifically for your tank size, with colour combinations that look beautiful from day one.

Every mixed box of aquarium plants is packed fresh from our UK facility and arrives ready to plant immediately. No drop-shipping, no sitting in storage — what you receive is the same quality we grow ourselves.

Choosing the Right Bundle for Your Tank

We stock aquarium plant bundles in 8 sizes — from 25L starter sets up to 500L large-tank collections — so there is a box matched to your exact aquarium size. Choose Standard for a curated selection from our core greenhouse stock, or Premium for access to our rarer, slow-growing, and specialist species.

Each live aquarium plant bundle includes a mix of colours and sizes, with care sheets included so you know exactly how to establish each species. You cannot specify individual plants, but if you have preferences — more foreground than background, for example — leave a note on your order and our team will do their best to accommodate.

If you are setting up a brand new planted aquarium and want everything in one order, our bundles are the most straightforward aquarium plant starter kit available in the UK.
