online plant retailer

[Newbneedshelp]

Looking for an online plant retailer, dont know if its better than buying from a LFS but ill give it a shot. I would buy them from a really good LFS near me, but they dont know what plants they have, all plants are in great condition but im looking for certain plants and i want to make sure i can get those. Any places would help alot!! TIA!!

Could that good LFS possibly order the plants for you on their next order?

I recently ordered from AquariumPlants.com and I am very pleased with the entire transaction.

First off, I knew what the shipping was going to be up front and had a variety of shipping options. I had ordered from a different online retailer before this that didn't estimate shipping rates and got totally bit by the transaction.

Their selection while not the best, is still quite varied and will allow you to get ahold of most of the plants you are looking for.

The plants arrived quickly and in good condition, plus they included extras! I will definately consider this retailer the next time I'm in the market for some more aquarium plants.

there's also http://www.azgardens.com. haven't bought from them yet, but i've heard very good things...

I have purchased from azgardens.com. Plants have all been in great shape, and are doing great. Thier prices seem reasonable, a lot less then other local places.

When I ordered from aquariumplants.com my plants didn't come in good condition.

www.aquabid.com is also a great resource for plants. You can find an incredible selection of plants, many rare/hard to find varieties too. Look for auctions by lowcoaster and you can't go wrong

xzap how much did all your plants end up costing u? i was thinking of ordering from them as well but i didnt know if all there prices are in american or not. the shipment i was looking at would have cost me about 70 bucks for like 30 plants and thats not bad but i wasnt sure if this was american or not. sometimes i hate living in canada because it is always hard to get stuff shipped here.

I just received an order from Aquariumplnats.com today. The plants were awesome and packed very well. I received my order on Wed, it was shipped Priority Mail (USPS) on Mon. so I got it in two days. I wasn't honked on shipping like some other places (AZgardens). I will diffenitley order again, weather permitting, as i have to worry about things freezing.
