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.

Meet Eleocharis montevidensis, a beautiful and unique aquarium plant that is sure to add some flair to your tank! This plant, also known as the Montevidensis Spike Rush, is a member of the Cyperaceae family and is native to North America.

One of the most striking features of Eleocharis montevidensis is its tall, narrow leaves that resemble spikes, giving it its common name. These leaves can grow up to 30 centimeters in height and are a vibrant green color. They are also quite thin, which makes them perfect for planting in the foreground or middle ground of your aquarium.

In addition to its attractive appearance, Eleocharis montevidensis is also a great plant for purifying your aquarium water. It helps to absorb excess nutrients and can also be used as a food source for fish and invertebrates.

Another great thing about this plant is that it is relatively easy to care for. It prefers a neutral to acidic pH range and can tolerate a wide range of water temperatures. It also doesn't require a lot of light, making it perfect for tanks with low light levels.

So if you're looking to add some unique and beautiful foliage to your aquarium, give Eleocharis montevidensis a try! It's sure to add some personality to your tank while also helping to keep your water clean and healthy.

Good healthy plants. Hope they do better than ones bought elsewhere. Think I split them too small so have left these larger when planting

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...
