Care Notes
Trim damaged leaves if needed. Rooted plants benefit from substrate nutrients or root tabs. Rhizome plants such as Anubias and Java fern should be attached to wood, rock, or decor instead of buried.
Shipping & Arrival
Most in-stock livestock generally ships in 1–2 business days when weather, livestock condition, and carrier timing are safe. Open the package promptly, keep lights low, and acclimate before release.
Before You Buy
- Is the tank cycled and stable?
- Is the aquarium large enough for adult size or final placement?
- Are tankmates compatible?
- Do you have appropriate food, cover, or supplies ready?
- Can you receive and acclimate the order promptly?
- Placement: Place the plant according to its species and growth habit; rooted, stem, rhizome, and floating plants are handled differently.
- Lighting: Match light level to the species and keep a stable daily routine.
- CO2: Some plants do well without it, while others improve with more plant support.
- Growth rate: Growth speed depends on light, nutrients, trimming, and overall tank stability.
- Difficulty: Beginner-friendly plants prefer consistency, while more demanding plants need tighter routines.
- Planting notes: Rooted plants, stem plants, rhizome plants, and floating plants should be handled differently.
- Trimming notes: Regular trimming helps many stems and fast growers stay fuller and healthier.
- Melt / adaptation note: Some leaves can bend, melt, or shed after shipping while the plant adjusts.
- Compatibility: Plant-safe fish, shrimp, and snails are the best fit for display and planted setups.
