The plants came healthy but only about half survived which is surprising since anubias is pretty hardy. I didn’t know that the plants were grown emerged instead of submerged, that’s probably why they melted. Also, no pest or snail.
I ordered $268 worth of plants last week 8/30/25) to start my Dutch aquascaping project. I ordered 17 species. The packaging was done very meticulously, the order arrived on time, the portions were VERY generous, the variety of tissue culture plants is large (my other tank has been taken over by snails so I'm not repeating that mistake with my new tank). Only one plant came melted-a one inch anubias petite whire but I'm sure that was my fault as I wasn't able to pick up the package until four hours after delivery and I am in Albuquerque where it was 85 degrees that day, otherwise not a single other plant was melted. It's because they did such a good job. Insulating the box. I will be buying from them again although I must admit my tank is now full of plants, but their selections are so beautiful I just may have to start another tank!
All of the plants we have received from Aquarium Plants Factory have all arrived in beautiful shape. Thank you so much!
Beautiful plants. I received a generous amount and they were healthy appearing.
They sent nice plants as a grower’s choice. Packing was impeccable— I ordered 10 plants which USPS proceeded to drive all over the country instead of straight to me— 10 days later when the package arrived all but 2 of the plants were still alive and healthy.
Fast grower, already turning pink!!!
$45 was a lot to spend on 1 plant but I really wanted it, but I got 4 rhizomes! super healthy and is looking beautiful
Came as advertised. Well packaged. Healthy, I'd buy from this business again.
Arrived in perfect condition, and exactly as advertised! Thank you again
To start, all of the plants apart from one arrived alive. The bacopa salzmani purple didn’t make it. It appears that the bag popped in transport or it wasn’t properly sealed. As for the rest, they arrived happy and healthy. I was expecting larger plants apart from the vitro selections. However most of these are very healthy and I am pleased with my order. They have been planted for four days now and I’m already seeing new growth.
Wow. Was super pleased with the plant i received. Healthy stems and looks great in my tank. Will be purchasing more!
These look beautiful in other reviewers' photographs and I get the sense that the color would become even brighter in strong sunlight. I purchased these in error---not paying attention to the fact that these need a substate, which I do not have. However, I put some of them in water to see if they might grow. I do not think it will work, but it looks very good floating with hornwort for what might be a very short period of time.
The plants arrived well-packed and healthy. You cannot really go wrong with these plants. However, since they are so ubiquitous, I plan to use these in smaller amounts in the future and create a more diverse collection. About the idea of them being strong, I think context is important. For instance, some of my fish do not seem to enjoy navigating through or around them and I think this is partly because they are a bit spiky and have a firm structure. In contrast, I put a clump of these in the water with a small female Samurai Betta. Existing literature suggests this is an excellent plant for it. However, the fish is in the process of ripping the mass of plants to shreds, making it seem more vulnerable than I thought.
This plant arrived health and in excellent condition. I am experimenting with keeping this plant floating near the top of the water. While the plant does not seem intended for this purpose, it adds interest as a glossy dark element and a unique color and texture to the existing surface and near-surface plants.
The plant arrived healthy and in excellent condition. I purchased these knowing that I sometimes do not like the appearance of variegated plants. However, the color of these are very nice. As another reviewer points out, their color is a lighter than shown (maybe as they mature the color will deepen), however, I also prefer this light color for contrast. The plant looks etherial and almost otherworldly. Typically, I assume that many light colors will look anemic but this color and the plant's forms is gorgeous. Unfortunately, I keep a water environment without a substrate and I made a mistake in purchasing this plant since it is described as needing a substrate. I assume the plants will slowly dissolve and disappear, but it remains suspended in water looking healthy for now and I am enjoying it.
I got three specimens of buce in today from two different sellers.THE AQUARIUM PLANTS FACTORY specimen on coco pad was far better. I like it so much that I plan to buy several more buce on coco pads
First time owning this plant and it’s by far my favorite plant I have ever had when trying to do a planted tank. The color is gorgeous and honestly I would love to have more on my tank!
