| "Cass went above and beyond! I received an amazing variety of plants, all in great condition. I left a note that it is beginning to get hot where I live, and my mail delivery person has a tendency to put small deliveries in my mailbox even if they are live. She added cooling and made sure the package was too large to fit in my mailbox!! This is my second order of her 10 species pack, and I will come back if I need more plants for future tanks!"

Ten Random Species of Low Tech Live Freshwater Aquarium Plants, WITH FLOATERS. Just drop in and go!
Easy trims to get your Nano tanks started. I'm offering a couple small plant packages to people who might want a little variety in their tanks, but don't want to lay down too much $$$.... These are very SMALL PORTIONS, but you'll get at least ten individual plants, and I do my best to give you as much textural/ color variety as possible. You'll get stem types, floaters, and mosses. All easily rooted, forgiving, and grow joyfully!
Also, have a look at the comparable Ten pack WITHOUT Floaters!
These are random trims I harvest right before shipping, so I can do my best to pull requested plants, but can't guarantee it. :) This is a great way to get lots of variety if you're the patient, experimental type.
I've included a photo above of a sample order. Please have a look at the ruler to the left of the photo :) These are the amounts you can expect to receive. It's the trim pack I wish someone had offered when I was starting out with planted tanks.
These plants love happy community tanks with colorful guppies, snails, shrimp.
I do have a few filterless Walstad tanks as well, so you know these are hardy, easy-care plants that grow fast and under a wide variety of conditions. I do have snails in tanks; I keep Colorful Ramshorns, Bronze Bladder, and Pond snails, Mini Rams, and Malaysian Trumpets. None of these snails grow large, eat plants or are otherwise harmful in any way. If you'd absolutely rather not have these beneficial snail hitchhikers, definitely look up how to do a bleach or hydrogen peroxide dip.
Some random trims you may get these days:
True Sagittaria, Frogbit, Java moss, Riccia, Rotala H'ra, Rotala Rotundifolia, Moneywort, Crypt Wendtii, Rotala Macaranda, Narrow Sagittaria, Najas Guppy Grass, Susswassertang, Golden Creeping Jenny, Fissidens "phoenix" moss, Anacharis, H. Tripartita 'Japan', Purple, red, or green Cabomba, N. Hydro. Taiwan, Narrow Leaved Anacharis, Flame Moss, Weeping moss, Bacopa Caroliniana, Bacopa Colorata, Water Wisteria, Hornwort, Ambulia, Salvinia Minima, Salvinia Cucculata L. Repens Mini Red, L. Repens "Rubin", Christmas moss, Willow moss, Najas 'Roraima', Microsword, Golden Creeping Jenny, Water Sprite, Java Fern, Dwarf Sagittaria, Pearlweed, Green and Red Myrio, Brazilian Pennywort and more....!
These are snipped/ harvested and packed right before shipment. I ship wrapped and sealed in plastic baggies to retain humidity. This is industry standard and is the best way to maintain quality on the way to you. I use methods that have consistently gotten the best results over years. Lot of love going into this hobby. Please don't leave them exposed in a mailbox🙏
You also have the option of adding ten root tabs, bonus filter plants, and Cholla Wood to your order at a cheaper rate than the separate listing!
Root fertilizer tabs work great for your heavy root feeders like most stem types, swords etc. They need to be buried, but are completely shrimp and fish safe. I personally make and use these, and they will include instructions for proper use.
Filter plants are not fully submersible plants, but rather rooted sprigs of houseplants that hang around in your hang-on-back filter or just inside the rim of your tank. They look so great cascading down the side of your tank and stand, and are phenomenal at sucking up nitrates! They do not need dedicated light, but rather do just fine in ambient household lighting. I'll send you rooted sprigs as in the photos above, your choice of species: Golden Pothos, Neon Pothos, Marble Queen Pothos, Green or Brazilian Philodendron, Zebrina Inch Plant (Purple), Variegated Spider Plant, Yellow English Ivy.
As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there's always the possibility of harmless snail or dwarf shrimp hitchhikers!
