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.

Crinum thaianum (better know as the Onion Plant) is quite an interesting looking species as it's one of those aquarium plants which grows a lot longer than others making it ideal for larger aquariums in which you are looking to cover up filters/heaters.

In addition (and probably no surprise) is fish tend to avoid Crinum thaianum because it doesn't taste very nice! So fish such as Severums that love to nibble on aquarium plants avoid this one like the plague which makes it popular for this very reason. When planting Crinum thaianum make sure only the bottom 1/3 of the plant is planted - I find it easiest just to literally place it where you like and then wiggle it down a little just to keep it in place. Any more than this and it will rot away.

Suitable for a wide range of conditions too, Crinum thaianum is ideal for beginners and up.

Note: the picture is an example of the species you will receive and whilst the pot size will always be the same, every plant is unique and natural which means they vary in shape and size. The specimens we receive never have anywhere as many leaves like the picture shows.

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.
