I bought Taiwan , Christmas and flame moss . The shipping was fast and all plants arrived live and healthy. It was my first time buying from here, I will buy again, I’m very satisfied.
The plants came in an awesome little container which kept them safe. The plants were lush green and ready to be placed in my tanks 🙏
Not in very good condition for the price many dead/dying leaves. Some plants were up sode down in gel.
Love this moss! I love the leaf pattern and how the roots dangle down.
I've been buying plants from Aquarium Plants Factory for a couple of years now. Every order the plants arrive Healthy, snail free, and thrive in my tanks. I live on the East Coast and received my latest order delivered in freezing temps. The plants were well packed and are alive in my tanks. I try to buy local, but none of the places around me match the quality of this place. Did I mention the plants are snail free??
First, I love this plant. The new leaves are such a vibrant red, and the plants that have survived seem healthy. They appeared to be very strong out of the bag, but I have lost one for certain. It sprouted beautiful new leaves, then one day just turned completely brown -- the whole plant. I pulled it out and let it float for the sake of the picture so we can see the translucent leaves.
But the ones that have survived, well, one looks like it's turning brown slowly, but the others are all with new leaves and doing well. I figure that this is the risk. Sometimes, a plant is DOA, and sometimes we can't see if there are any negative effects from shipping. I don't think that APF would ever send me questionable plants. In fact, they once canceled part of my order because it did not meet their standards. Thoughtful. Good business. But because I accept the risks, I have even ordered more of this cute plant.
What else I like about it is that it fills up space. It's a wide, full, squat plant. I don't have to wait months like I might with a cryptocorene plant for it to fill out. Even my other echinodorus plants take time to fill out and get bushy. Not this little sucker. Broad leaves. Full. And it took one single day to see new growth in all of the reni that I ordered. Granted, some did not make it, but oh well. That's the case even if I bought them locally.
These plants are all surviving. When I received them, some did not have roots, so I wrapped the thinnest little lead around them. So far, so good. I have many new leaves popping up too.
What I really liked was that APF sent me all the little runners attached to the number of plants ordered. Now, I don't expect this every time, but it was generous, and I'd like to think that they considered the approximately $500 I just spent in the last few weeks lol...and my obvious addiction to having plants sent directly to my home. No gas money. No traffic. No fighting for parking at my local pet store. A huge selection of plants at my fingertips. Of course, there is no such thing as free shipping to Hawaii, so I pay for all of these conveniences as well as pay for the plants. But hey, everything costs something; pay in dollars or pay in time and stress.
I’m very pleased with my Anubis’s panda. I was happy to see how many little plants came😊
The Dark Angels literally showed up in the package like they were straight out of a stock photo… right now they’re in a new tank melting a little bit because they were grown out of water which is something people need to remember when introducing APF plants to your tank. I’m running Co2 and in a few weeks I know they’re going to look stunning. APF does it again.
A heaping cup of super healthy lobelia! Everything from APF is always top notch
This has to be my new favorite plant. Only now have I attempted to raise this plant, and I have a few leaves melting away because of water shock. Apparently, I failed to read the literature posted here at APF lol.
The white is crisp, starch white, and the way that it "varigates" (IDK if that's a real word) is just stunning. It's a bold statement in the tank, especially amongst a sea of green. I imagine that it might disappear if my tank was a smorgasbord of varigated plants. It doesn't have fancy edges or bright pink streaks, but it has character and style. Love this plant so much, it is in almost every tank that I own. And APF sent me super healthy specimens, carefully packaged. Addicted!
I’m excited to have this in the tank. Looks great on the driftwood. I split 5 plants from the bag.
Excellent little plant, looks awesome!
Recieved the culture with a stong root system. It has a beautiful color that contrats well in the aquarium. I read that a lot of people experience crypto melt but the culture i received is doing well and hasnt showed ant signs of melt.
Good quality plant, which survived the delay caused by USPS (and the delivery person just leaving it in the mailbox despite a note >.<').
It is growing well.
