FAQs

How are aquarium plants delivered?

All aquarium plants are carefully packed and dispatched Monday to Friday. Orders placed before 4pm ship the same day. We offer standard delivery from £4.99 and DPD Express next-working-day delivery at £6.99, with a 1-hour delivery window sent to your phone.

Are your aquarium plants snail and pest free?

Our tissue culture aquarium plants are grown in sterile laboratory conditions and are guaranteed pest, snail, and algae free. Potted and epiphyte plants are sourced from Tropica, Europe's leading aquatic plant grower, and are inspected on arrival.

Which aquarium plants are easiest for beginners?

The easiest aquarium plants for beginners include Anubias, Java Fern, Java Moss, and Vallisneria - all of which grow in low light without CO2. Our Tropica Easy Growing Bundle is specifically curated for new hobbyists and includes care sheets.

Do you sell tissue culture aquarium plants?

Yes - we stock a full range of tissue culture (1-2-Grow!) aquarium plants from Tropica. These are pest-free, algae-free, and ready to plant directly into your aquarium with no rinsing required.

Can I buy aquarium plants online safely?

Yes. Our live aquarium plants are picked fresh from our UK facility each week, not stored in warehouse tanks. We ship in insulated packaging to ensure they arrive healthy and in full growth.

What fertilisers do aquarium plants need?

Most aquarium plants benefit from a liquid fertilizer providing nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and trace elements. Our Neutro Combo is a top seller for low-tech planted tanks. High-tech tanks with CO2 may need additional macro nutrients.
