Please keep in mind that Live Arrival Guarantee only guarantees that live stocks will be alive upon arrival. We cannot guarantee that you will continue to have success with them. Many factors, including the aquarium environment, water quality, nutrient, temperature, lighting, filter, and CO2 system, can contribute to the failure to grow live plants and live animals.
WHAT WE CAN'T GUARANTEE
Even though our plants are very clean, but we can't guarantee they will be 100% pest-free because we cannot be responsible for your aquarium. Please use it at your own risk. We recommended all customers rinse the plants with clean water and quarantine them before use.
However, plants in tissue culture will be 100% free from pests, algae and never have been contacting with any aquarium.
- Due to the nature of the product. We don't guarantee our plants will be pests free. ( snails, algae, hitchhikers )
- We don't guarantee our plants will be free of pesticides. We use homemade, organic pesticides in our greenhouse to control pests. We do not use pesticides that contain copper. Copper is toxic to invertebrates such as aquatic snails, crabs, shrimps, etc

Customers praised these aquarium plants for arriving in "great condition" and being "very healthy." Most reported excellent packaging and fast shipping. Plants are described as vibrant green and well-rooted. Some concerns: inconsistent sizing ("very small" vs expected), occasional melt after planting, and one missing promotional item. Fish reportedly love resting on these plants.
- Couldn't be better! They've at least quadrupled in size over 8 months.
- The plants came in very well packaged and in great health.
- Arrived very healthy and well rooted. Much better portion than other sellers!

Arrived in perfect condition. Packaging of the plants each labeled was great. Thank you!

I bought a good amount of plants from APF both to set up a new 10 gallon Betta Tank and add to our existing 75 gallon community tank. The plants came in very well packaged and in great health. We just did a second order to add a bit more to the 75 gallon since we now know how great the plants are coming in.
A
I ordered two of these Crypt. Wendtii Green, but got 5 plants from the bunch (sweet), but after a month, only 3/5 have survived my aquarium. Two of them have shown no signs of stress or melt, but one is somewhat doing ok.
S
They arrived in great condition and so far no melt!! Definitely will order from here again!
C
As a total plant newbie growing on pure eco-complete, in really hard water, pH 8, low/medium light, no heater (~70-75F) ... in a low-stocked 20gal tank of 14 male endlers & 1 bristlenose ... with only adding like 1 root tab/plant and only a few squirts of water column fertilizer total over the course of 7 months ... I was a bit afraid how these would do, as I heard crypts can be a little tricky. Turns out, the plants started healthy and are STILL doing GREAT, far exceeding my expectations of how it might go!!! In fact, they've at *least* quadrupled in size, both in number of leaves and length of leaves, and also completely overtook the "brown" crypts (also from APF), even though I started with more of the "brown" ones. Another bonus: these were a GREAT deal. Pretty sure APF even gave me extra over the bonus get-one-free!! Could not recommend this purchase more, especially if your parameters are anything like mine!! If you scroll through photos, I show both ~1 month after purchase and also now, 8 months later!
Z
Excellent healthy plants like all the rest.
O
I bought 4 and received two more for free. They were a great addition to my new set up.
E
Came in individual pouches, very healthy
R
They are very healthy & have no dead spots!
J
Plants received were bright green and full. Very healthy and ad a slash of color to my set up. I will buy from APF again.
H
My betta fish love these plants. They arrived quickly and, while they had a few dead leaves, that's to be expected, and they have begun to perk up in a matter of a couple days.
I
Plants were well packaged and very healthy upon arrival. After planting they appeared crinkled due to compression from shipping, but within a day the leaves reorganized and looked completely normal. Even got a few "extra" plants by subdividing the base of the originals.
J
My first time buying from Aquarium Plants Factory, honestly the best experience. The plants arrived in excellent condition and going to be a nice addition to my new Betta tank. Thank you Aquarium Plants Factory!👌👍💯
T
This entire nanotank aquascape is with plants from Aquarium Plants Factory. All arrived very healthy.
It’s only been 2 days for my Wendtii and only a few leaves are melting.
12/10 would recommend any live plant purchase!
Plants:
Anubias petite on driftwood
2 Bucephalandra on driftwood
1 Anubias consensus
1 crypt wendtii green
4 java moss (for my moss wall)— super stoked about this
I
The crypts arrived looking healthy and only lost a few leaves to melt during the first week.
J
These plants (CRYPTOCORYNE WENDTII 'GREEN') were packaged well with plenty of moisture in pots. Compared to the cuttings I received (BACOPA CAROLINIANA-poor condition), these (CRYPTOCORYNE WENDTII 'GREEN') plants fared well during transport and arrived healthy. They look great in my refugium and 65 gallon tank.
J
Great

Just like the picture

Just like the picture

I ordered 2 in a "buy 2 and get 1 free offer" but I never got the added 1. Nice plants, though. They look healthy.
D
Ok plantains is disappointing
M
I bought this and the 'brown' variety. They arrived in great condition and ready to plant. It looks healthy and wonderful. I'm going to buy another two. (I regret not including them in my original purchase)
J
My order came in on time, was packed really well and the plants seems to be in great shape. Got my tank all set up tonight so we'll see how it goes. Will be shopping here again for a MUCH bigger tank than my 5 gal nano. :)
E
Clean & no issues

Great condition
