    About Mixed Boxes

    Mixed Boxes are the best way to add lots of plants into your aquarium without the hassle of having to choose the plants - leave it up to the experts!

    Our plant manager will persoanlly pick your plants choosing a range of foreground, midground and background plants. All mixed boxes have a range of colours and sizes so when they arrive with you, it looks beautiful immediately.

    What size should I choose?

    Select the mixed box that is closest to your aquarium taking into consideration any wood or rocks you already have in there. If that's the case, try the next size down.

    Can I request specific plants in a Mixed Box?

    You can't request specific plants but if you'd like more foreground than background for eg, shoot us a message and we'll see what we can do for you.

    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.

    Very successful selection

    I hadn't tried the coldwater box before, wondering if my tanks were too warm for them (22 deg C). However, they are all thriving. The box contained some of my favorite plants, and some I hadn't tried before - that's the real benefit of a box. I love them all. Even the altanethera is still doing well. Normally it doesn't last long. I will buy this box again, thanks!

    Review

    Having researched on-line and having sourced aquatic plants in the past, decided to use Aqua Essentials to set up a new aquarium. While maybe not the cheapest, in terms of value-for-money, they are definitely up there at the top of the league - you really get what you pay for! The plants arrived well packed and in excellent health, each with its own data label explaining what it was etc. Soaked for 24 hours in water to check for snails (none appeared!), then carefully separated the root system from the propagation "bedding" (well worth taking time doing this given how important roots are) and then "installed" in the tank and left for a week. Result? Six healthy plants starting to grow and I'm sure they will have been working overtime to establish a full root system too. I was after quite a low density display so, allowing for rocks etc, I've got a great display in a 60L tank (sorry Aqua Essentials)! Of course, if you want a fuller display - and this is entirely up to you - I'd go nearer the recommended box size but, for me, this was perfect for what I wanted.

    This was the perfect bundle to help complete the look for my planted tank. The mini red is so vibrant. Each plant arrived with great packaging, moisture and ready to be planted. The plants complimented it each other and leaves and roots are all clean and in healthy condition.

    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.
