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.

Limnophila hippuridoides is originally from Asia and can grow to a decent height of 20-50cm high and often 6-10cm wide – so 1 plant takes up a decent amount of space. A simple plant, able to adjust to various conditions makes it suitable for hobbyists who have some experience but if you're a new comer to the hobby and are adventurous, then give it a go.

The amazing coloured leaves are green with a red-violet underside, and the whole leaf turns red-violet under ideal growth conditions - and this is part of the BIG appeal. It is a vibrant growing plant, which willingly creates new, solid shoots from the base. Thinning of the oldest and longest shoots is recommended, in order to make room for such new shoots.

This one has grown well in the 2 weeks and needs a trim. I'm not seeing much red as yet but have just increased my lighting and added CO2 and I think it will do well. Lots of new shoots coming out of the base.

Product arrived well packaged and secure. Product arrived a few days before I was setting up my new tank I rang Aqua Essentials and spoke to some one who was very helpful and informative regarding temporary storage of the plants. Plants have been in the tank for eleven days and have taken to new tank well and I have had no issues with them.

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.
