Ive brought plants off ebay and they arrived next day, in a little airbag with abit of water just enought to keep them moist. Their roots were big too.
I got mine from seasideaquatics

I got coddled on eBay recently. I bought what I thought were 3 potted Anubis plants, and they were tiny, one was about size of 50pence piece and the other two, were half of that. The crypts I got in the same shipment were lovely specimens though. I also bought a floor moss type....how long do these take to become established if they survive? And how long before the crypts properly embed in the gravel? Thanks in advance

I bought plants off ebay a couple of years ago it was a package of 25 live plants. When they said plants they meant stems because there was only about 6 bunches. One of the plants was a marginal fern and one was a peace lily. I planted the peace lily in some compost and it is still on my windowsill now. You might be better to buy individuals rather than a all in box.

Buying from eBay is okay, but make sure you know what you're getting. As shell said, "plants" often means stems. I've also heard of people buying bundles or packs and getting varying amounts of non-aquatic plants.

Completely off topic now, but LilyRose, are you a cosplayer by any chance?
