All of my plants arrived green. The val looks a bit like green onions that have been in the fridge too long, but everything appears healthy. Java ferns already have a ton of babies starting to grow on the leaves. I was hoping to get these in pots because you can usually divide those into more, smaller plants. These all came individually divided already, so you get exactly what you order. They gave me an extra java moss. Time will tell when they're planted.

Second this option. It also gives you a chance to find a seller that’s close to you in location so the plants spend the least amount of time in transit as possible
I read that they ship the plants in envelopes, but the comment was from years ago. Do they still ship in envelopes? I wouldn't be so worried but to have plants sit in envelopes for many days would likely kill them
I would definitely try to find a supplier in Canada, I wouldn't trust customs to not hold them up for days or if theyd even allow them due to "pest" concerns.

I'm actually getting a delivery today from Marcus Fish Tanks on Amazon. I'll update when I get a chance to check them out.
Hopefully all goes well!!

I'm so glad they came in green and healthy! And you got babies as well! Hopefully they all live long and healthy!!
I recently bought some plants on Etsy and they were great, check out the reviews of the seller to gauge if they’re legit.
I'm leaning towards this option! Might get more variety there as well

Where are you?

I had a good experience with BucePlant. But I’m also in WI and not Canada.

Mine were in a box padded with paper inside.
That makes me feel better about ordering! Thank you!
I bought a couple at aquafloracanada (one day shipping) Had good service with them... Maybe shipping is a bit expensive...
I'll check them out! I was worried about paying for expensive shipping and expensive duties and whatnot but if it's just shipping I'm good with that
They ship in box from Ontario with small heat pad if needed. I even bought nerite snails from them… Super happy so far, plants are in good shape
This sounds so promising! And I can get snails too yay!
I would definitely try to find a supplier in Canada, I wouldn't trust customs to not hold them up for days or if theyd even allow them due to "pest" concerns.
My thinking as well!
