Gorgeous, healthy plant!

Wow. Was super pleased with the plant i received. Healthy stems and looks great in my tank. Will be purchasing more!

Wow factor is worth it

This was my first APF order, and I was really hesitant to order such an expensive plant on a first order. But the plants are for a 55g goldfish tank, so they need to be big/hardy enough to survive nibbling. I am *really* thrilled with the plant I got. Well, actually it split up into three healthy rhizomes (all with multiple HUGE leaves and evidence of new growth) so for the price, I really got three large plants.

The plants arrived looking so healthy I actually checked to make sure I hadn't accidentally selected "overnight shipping" at checkout, because I didn't think plants could spend 2 days in transit and look so good. The plant I got was a bit over 1 foot in length at its tallest, but the multiple stems and huge leaves make this plant a real presence. In the picture, the three rhizomes from this plant are in the center left, center center, and center right -- the anubias butterfly in the low center foreground is another mother plant I got from APF.

WOW!

What a beautiful plant!! Perfect condition upon arrival. I absolutely love all my plants from Aquarium Plants Factory, you really can't go wrong. I added a picture for context, this's in a 180 Gallon Cychlid tank for size and reference.

Amazing quality and Goldfish Approved

If multiple purchases for over 1,000g total water volume mean anything to prospective buyers, then this is the review to read! I've purchased nearly $1,000 of anubias from APF in 2021. All for large indoor fancy goldfish ponds/tanks. Without exception, the plants have been large, healthy, and clean. Now, nearly 6 months later, their growth has been phenomenal. I'd also like to highlight another aspect that sets APF apart from the vast majority of vendors: Their superb attention to detail when it comes to packing! I don't know about you, but nothing irks me more than having a plant shipment arrive that is in horrid shape b/c people don't care enough about their customers or the plants to properly prepare and pack them. I don't want free replacements. I want them to pack it right the first time...and APF does EXACTLY that with ALL of their plants. I have no doubt that APF would stand behind their plants if a problem arose. The thing is...with all the money I've invested in their plants, it's something that I've never yet had to concern myself with.

This is a pic of one section of a 600g tank. The wood in the pic is over 3' in length.

This anubias is massive. Very healthy and good looking. Each pot was actually 3 or 4 plants which worked in my favor

Awesome Plant Shop

This was my first time ordering. I have ordered from other vendors, but none were as healthy looking as the plant I received from APF. I was very impressed. It's been in the tank a few days now and still looks good. It doesn't appear to be having trouble adjusting to it's new environment. I bought an Anubius

Large plants...

These plants came in well packaged, they did have spots on the leaves, I hope they settle well and recover. I have 3 established planted aquariums, a 90 gallon, a 45 gallon, and a 10 gallon shrimp tank and these plants were for a 4th, 30 gallon, to re-home my angel fish to as they are large enough now I felt they needed their own space. Time will tell, being these are anubias, I'm sure they will be fine, as I have never had any die on me in the past

LARGE Fantastically Beautiful Anubias 😍

I was astonished at the size and quality of the plants. Simply gorgeous and clean! They've been in my aquarium for several days and are acclimating very well. Would recommend APF to ANYONE looking for a good deal on WONDERFUL quality plants.

Gorgeous as usual

This is my second order and I couldn't be happier. My order was a breeze to put in, and was here within a couple of days. The deep green in the anubias plants made them look almost fake ( in a good way). Looking forward to future orders. Thank You

ANUBIAS NANA MOTHER XXL

I purchased 3 ANUBIAS NANA MOTHER XXL. They came on time and well packaged. They are beautiful and healthy. I would buy again.

Various Anubias

9 mother plants plus various other Anubias to go into my 125 gallon Malawi cichlid tank.

Order process was easy, got back to me with my questions quickly, everything arrived smoothly from CA to FL and alive. Though I have gotten larger xxl mother plants from other places in the past, none have looked as AMAZING as these!

Also, bought assassin snails who also made it alive and are having a field day in the tank.

I would buy from this company again with no hesitation at all.

Loved it so much, I ordered it twice!

I can't say enough about this company and how great my experience has been. I will be placing a third order soon for some plants for my nano tanks. This order was just as great as the first, and the Anubias nana mother plant came in so big & beautiful that I ordered another one to fill in some space and will be attaching to more driftwood soon. Everything has been perfect. The quality of the plants, the shipping, the customer service, the price. I have no reason to order from another company now.

Lindsay H. (United States)
Gorgeous!

I am always skeptical about ordering plants online, but I have found my new supplier. This plant came big, beautiful and so green, with a very nice root system. Everything I ordered was packaged so perfectly. This company takes such care packaging and shipping each plant that even after a week of travel in the cold, all of my plants came in nicer that I could have picked up locally. I will definitely be ordering again!

Good and bad

Most of the plants I ordered are doing great. They arrived in excellent condition and seem to be giving it a try. The Anubis has some algae on it already so we’ll see, And one of the stem plants is just rotting.

Big Beautiful Leaves

Beautiful big leaved plants. We our always impressed by the quality of these large plants. This is one of our resident fishes' favorites. They like to hide and shelter under these plants. We try to maintain two to three of these in each aquarium.
