Ordering Plants

[lucasluke]

About to venture into the planted tank area in a few weeks time and im wondering if anyone knows a good site for ordering plants? I've heard of PlantsAlive but has anyone had experience with these guys?

eBay has some good plant deals, a few people from here have ordered from there & been satisfied

AquaEssentials, their delivery prices are high but a good selection of stuff?

plants alive are brilliant, th plants always arrive well packaged and looking very healthy. sometimes they can take a while with deliveries though but other than that theyre very good

"last trading post" on Ebay have a good reputation for their plant bundles and having visited the shop a couple of weeks ago, Mike is a very approachable with a refreshing no-nonense approach to selling both fish and plants.

Thanks everyone.
I am wondering do I need a CO2 system? Can anyone recommend a relatively cheap one?

you dont need, one but you can have one if you want, it would certainly benefit your plants , a cheap form of adding CO2 would be a yeast based injection (which you could also make a DIY version of), check it on google there is also aerosol and pressurized methods of using CO2.
