10 Live Aquarium Plant Species from Florida - Perfect for Your Aquatic Ecosystem!

GarrettGarrett: I liked how many different plants I got for my money - very good deal. All were alive when they arrived, most fully green and a few with some yellowing leaves. I opted for the more expensive shipping and I'm glad I did because USPS delayed it as it was and I can't imagine they would have lasted another week in transit. They were still moist but there were some dead leaves I had to pick off before planting. I really wish they were labeled as to why species they are though because I would like to be able to look up more specific care requirements. I'll update in a week or two if the dieback is really significant; I'm expecting a little since that's normal. I'm planting in a low-tech setup with sand and root tabs plus liquid fert so hopefully they can tolerate that!

UPDATE a few weeks later: 9/10 of the plants are healthy showing new growth. One of them (a small plant with round leaves I can't identify) seems to be doing a little poorly with some brown leaves, but it's not dead yet and to be honest that's better than I expected. HOWEVER, I'm pretty sure these plants came with a hitchhiker!! I found a ramshorn snail recently that definitely wasn't in the tank before - I already...

Oleada: This plants bundle is awesome! The plants arrived very fast, way before the initial delivery date, and are large and healthy. No snails whatsoever. The variety is also really good, such a nice assortment, and a great value and great quality. My fishes love them, and the aquarium is now looking nice and lush green.

Client Kindle: I am a very seasoned aquarist, but this is my first time buying live plants on line. I can safely say I won't do this again. To be fair, AquaLeaf delivered plants that were well packaged and provided a guide that beginners in particular would find helpful. However, only three plants were within the size range with the quality I expected . It is true that shipping comes with risks, but this is precisely why I've always selected my plants carefully in-store - to get real value instead of things that are almost entirely brown. One (resembled vallisneria but was so brown, small and mushy that I'm genuinely not sure what it was supposed to be) literally looked like a dead thing (only a hint of green while the rest was essentially decay). I will hopefully get to do a follow-up review in a month or two after the plants have settled in their new environment. As it stands now though, I would recommend only buying hardy plants from this vendor (anachris, java ferns and anubia, for example). The more delicate ones are likely to melt by the time you get them. The only real plus is the price is "semi-reasonable" since most plants can cost at least $9.99 each at most stores (or even 12.99). So,...

AlainaAlaina: These are beautiful, healthy plants! I would suggest paying attention to weather conditions before ordering (too hot or cold).
First, I am new to live plant tanks (the fake plants would tear my betta's fins).
I've ordered twice now from this seller. The first order, I attempted a bleach bath for fear of snails or alge. Some of the plant unfortunately did not survive. I purchased a second batch and just placed them in the tank and have not had any issues with pests or random hitchhikers.
I did research on caring for live tanks and find it not to be the easiest or cheapest option in the beginning, but I feel will be so beneficial once my tanks are fully established. I currently have I no fish and I'm just focusing on these plants.
I've read that new plants may "melt" when first introducing them to the aquarium due to going from oxygen to being submerged in water, and then they will grow new leaves.
I have one tank with pebbles that was cycling with water before i placed the plants in. I found it difficult to keep the plants down in the pebbles or from floating up.
My second tank I did sand and planted them before filling the tank which was much easier!
I've...
