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.
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.

Like Cory said in his podcast random generated I got lucky and got background, mid grown and carpeting plants on my order

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.

Made simple
It's my first time having aquarium plants and was unsure of what to pick bc there're so many options. This made it simple! All the plants looked healthy upon arrival.

Mystery box
I received all plants, healthy, and in great shape! I’ve been dosing with Easy Green liquid fertilizer and Root tabs and they are getting bigger already.

Great for a start
I've have these plants for a solid month now and I'm quite happy with them. These are the first plants I've ever had. 5 of the 6 have done well in the tank. The one species that didn't would be due to things on my end: difficulty in keeping in place due to a fish who kept assisting. If I had the ability to establish the plants without the fish I think it would have thrived. I was also super thrilled that these plants came identified, it let me get a bit of a plan in place for what would go where. I would order plants like this again, especially to get started.
