We Include Heat Packs and Liners Free of Charge
We have a custom-developed algorithm to include heat packs and insulating plant liners when needed, based on the weather forecast from our warehouse to your shipping address. This helps keep plants at stable temperatures, both in hot and cold weather. Other vendors typically charge you at checkout for a heat pack. We include them when needed free of charge because it's our job to deliver our plants to your door healthy.
I ordered this product a couple of months ago and the plants have been amazing. All of the plants arrived healthy and in great shape! A great way to experiment and learn about plants that you might now work with! Great product! I set up a tank with the plants that I purchased with the mystery box, check out the video below.

Healthy plants and a good mix
I ordered a box for my new 20 gallon, and then a week later another box for my new 10 gallon betta tank. Very pleased with the variety, the two boxes were not the same plants so they are definitely shipping different plants. Great way to get a new planted tank established. So far, all plants are doing terrific; highly recommend.

Amazing!
Great packaging, speedy shipping and was super happy with what was selected for me in my mystery plant box. The plants were healthy and look amazing!

Very happy!
Very happy with everything!! My only complaint is the water wisteria melted and died almost immediately. But that's to be expected with some plants.

Mostly in great shape
The plants were mostly in great shape and a nice variety. The java fern did seem to have a problem with black beard algae, but was able to treat that (I hope). Otherwise all of them are doing well and haven't experienced almost any melting back.

Great bundle!
I've ordered plenty of plants from Aquarium Co-op in the past, but this was my first time ordering the mystery box for a new tank set up. I was more than happy with the plants they sent me. I got 6 amazing plants without the hassle of trying to pick out my own.

Loved this
Not a “mystery box” buyer at all but this was super helpful! I have 2 tanks, some plants went in each and all are doing great over a month later.
