GOOD

Super happy with this purchase got a good amount of plants that look super healthy were well packaged and undamaged, Now to plant up and see how they grow.

They arrived on time, looks great in the tank, but they have no roots. So they will obviously die soon. Not very happy.

Every order I’ve made with this company has been a very positive experience!Plants are always very healthy looking. Zero issues once added to the tank.Issues with this particular plant is that the aquarium are devouring it, they eat more of this than any other plant.I’m finding it difficult to get it t root.It seems to constantly escape the substrate, any ideas to keep in place would be great?It needs a LOT of light to keep the coloursBut everyone comments on how great the tank looks with this added. It really does look beautiful.One negative is that it is taking so long to root that the stem which goes beneath the substrate rots, so they’re getting shorter every few days.I have one piece so far which has rooted and that looks great, but it did end up being reduced to an inch or so.So pleased we get so many stems of this so that it’s not as disappointing when one rots or the fish eat it all.Research shows that once it has everything it needs and it’s rooted, it grows quickly? So I’m assuming I will be able to multiply stems as it grows. I’ve had it a few weeks now

Came on time, really good condition, grows really well in my tank, great hiding spots for shrimp and fish.

Great plants for my new little aquarium. Have took well and have grown already. Would recommend.

I ordered three plants from Lincolnshire Pond Plants Ltd: Java Fern, Hornwort and Vallisneria Spiralis. The Java Fern and Hornwort came in excellent condition and have grown well in the tank (see photos). The Java Fern has even started sprouting new leaves. However, the Vallisneria Spiralis came in the post squished and subsequently went brown and died (see photo attached), which was disappointing. I believe that this was not a fault of the supplier but rather a result of being squished upon transit, maybe Lincolnshire should invest in tougher/ more robust packaging to prevent their plants being squashed in the future. The supplier refunded me for the squished plant after I sent them photos of it (I refused to pay postage cost to send the plant back as postage costs are similar to the cost of buying the plant in the first place). Given that 2/3 plants arrived in good condition and that the supplier refunded me for the plant that arrived squished, I give this supplier and product a four star rating.UPDATE: I have just found snails all over the hornwart and other parts of my tank (see photos). My tank is a new setup so the only way snails got in there was via the hornwart plant. I now have a snail infestation which is not what I want. I have now changed my rating from four to three stars because of this.

I ordered two cryptocorens and two althernathera as an experiment, as I'd never ordered plants in the post before. They took about a week to arrive following dispatch, so I wasn't expecting much more than a packet of mush, but they arrived healthy and well packaged. They were good and bushy, and after a soak, I put them in my tank. The cryptocorens had roots on arrival, and 4 weeks on, despite losing a few leaves (normal) both plants are now sprouting new leaves. The althernathera didn't have any roots, and although they looked bushy and healthy to begin with, they gradually disintegrated. I have one single stalk which has sprouted roots, so I'm hopeful that will establish. Tank now looks a bit bare, but it will hopefully improve as they grow. So, is it worth it to order plants online? I'd say overall, yes, but good results will only come from rooted stock. Would I order again? Yes. I've had worse results from plants bought in person from an aquatic retailer, and these did arrive in good condition.
