View Full Version : Has Anyone Ordered from AquariumPlants.com?
Here: http://www.aquariumplants.com/
I'm just curious because I'm considering ordering some plants from them but I'm not sure how big the plants are.
In particular, I'm wondering about how big the dwarf clover bunch will be and how big the rotala roundifolia will be.
I may order 2 of each of those instead of 1 if they're smaller than they are in my head.

Email them and ask. If they don't respond then you know not to order from there because of no/bad communication.

I have ordered from them, those plants specifically as well. To be honest I'm not even sure what dwarf clover is suppose to look like because I have seen different sizes. What I got may be what it is suppose to be. The plant was about a half an inch maybe less of very little green leaves. The root system was black brown-ish. I tried to pulling it apart to much small pieces and planting it, but it didn't go well. I ended up chucking it. The rotala was 5 or 6 stems. They were all about 6 - 7 inches tall and thin(is that even the right words? They weren't full I guess)
I've ordered from them about 5 times over 2 years. I have found that their next day shipping seems like a must(for me at least). Any time I have gotten 2nd day the plants seem of much lesser quality. I don't experience that when getting 3 day shipping with sites like aquabid and regular forum members. They are a good company though, and usually prompt with notifications and shipment.
I hope that helps in some way. I'm really bad at describing, but I tried.

I ordered plants from them a while back and ended up with more of everything than I expected. While I don't know about the particular plants you're getting, overall I found their portions aren't skimpy at all. The way I look at it is you're already paying the shipping, so a few more bucks blown by ordering a little too much isn't a big deal. If you order too little, they will grow and fill in.
I was hoping to avoid the next day air shipping due to it being double the cost of 2 day shipping, but I guess it might be worth it if anything arrives damaged (what RM said about the dwarf clover concerns me a bit).
What's another $20...

I have ordered all my plants from them except two that I got from Msjinx. They were very healthy plants and all have done great. I tried to email them and got no response so I called them. The guy answered on the second ring. He was very nice and helpful. The only thing I would have changed is I ordered a package and none of the plants were labeled so I had to spend alot of time finding out what they were. I would recomend them to anyone.:)

I ordered 4 pots of glosso and 4 pots of HC and a few other stem plants from them and everything came in great condition. Shipped whatever was cheapest. All of the plants looked better than my local fish stores. I would order grom them agian.

I didn't do the one day shipping but everything was great. I do have pictures of some of my plants when I first got them in my tanks.(2/7/08) You can look at my profile picture albums to see what they look like now.
Sorry for the picture quality they were taken with a phone.
