SubstrateSource Anubias Live Aquarium Plants - Potted Freshwater Plant for Fish Tanks, Terrariums - Beginner Friendly Low Light (Barteri Broad Leaf, Mother Plant)

I don't write reviews very often but since I have had a hard time trying to find a place to buy plants for my aquarium and had to resort to buying online, I thought I would review to make it easier for others in the same boat. I have always been nervous about buying live aquarium plants online. I bought a 3 pack of potted golden leaf Nana plants. Amazon said my order would be delivered almost 2 weeks later from the day I made my purchase. However, SubstrateSource had my plants shipped and delivered a lot sooner than that. It was 2 days after my order that they were actually shipped. I ordered on a Friday and they weren't shipped until the following Monday. I am assuming they took into account that it was the weekend and they didn't want to risk any delays because of that which I really appreciate. After they were shipped, I recieved them not even a full 48 hours later. From CA to my home in OH, I was pretty impressed. Very happy they weren't in transit for very long. They were packaged really well. I can't explain how happy I was with how gorgeous they were. The size of them were your typical standard size for potted Nana plants. They had so many bright colored leaves. Each pot had 2 rhizomes so technically I ended up with 6 plants. I have had difficulty with getting potted anubias plants out of pots before but these were easy to take out including the removal of the rock wool. I checked over each plant thoroughly looking for pest snails and couldn't find any. I can't say you won't get any hitchhikers at all but I didn't come across a single one. They didn't take too long to acclimate to my tank water after I got them in my tank. The leaves looked perfect in my tank after only a few days. Shipping was awesome, plants were gorgeous and healthy, no hitchhikers from what I could see and they were a good size plant with lots of leaves. Since SubstrateSource has a variety of anubias, I will definitely buy again. There are a few different abubias plants I want to add to my tank. Honestly, you can't beat the price either. Usually prices I have seen for single potted anubias Nana plants are $12 to $14 each and I got 3 for approximately $30 after shipping. I would recommend buying plants from this company for sure!

Beautiful and healthy plant. Doing well in terrarium with hatchling mud turtles. Thanks

Beautiful little plants! All of them were very healthy and packaged well. Hopefully I can keep them alive! Edit: bought a second time from them and plants came in super quick and beautiful again! Beautiful and healthy looking plants. I’ve ordered from other sellers and they ship super slow and send dying plants but substratesource is now my go to for my plants.

Plants came fast, with moisture, great packaging, green, and thriving. Ill definitely be ordering again.

Super impressed with the plants I ordered! They were packaged so nicely and are so healthy and vibrant. Very happy!

Plant arrived was amazing. Way bigger than I expected. Right to the top of my 20 gal long tank. Huge full leaves. Rhizome in good shape. Arrived in just two days with good packaging keeping leaves upright and protected. Plant was big and full enough to split into two. Anubis grow so slowly for me this was able to jump start my tankscape.

I’ve had this plant for two months now. Still doing very healthy and growing came healthy, and pretty fast.

I'm using sand as my gravel for my little tank. These little guys came quicker than I expected. They were packaged well, with heat warmers to keep them happy during transport during cold months. They looked very healthy. I let them sit on my desk to acclimate to room temp for a few hours, then floated them in the bags for twice as many hours in the tank, then ripped a hole in the bag to add some tank water and let them continue floating overnight, then in the morning I took them out and put them in the sand. I had no fish yet in my new tank so I wasn't really concerned about contamination. I'm getting more sand because there isn't enough to cover the pots. I've slowly been bringing the temp up from 72 deg to 77 over the last 5-8 days. They still look super healthy! I definitely will buy again! These were also the best priced plants I could find on Amazon. I'm thrilled at the value and quality! I will add a pic once more sand comes. I also got some plant fertilizer that came a few days after adding them to the tank, so I added that to help them thrive in their new environment.
