Looking for lower- light, quick-growing, and tough plants for an Axolotl tank?
Here are four of the easiest, best growing plants we have. Perfect for low to medium light tanks, Walstads, and other low-tech aquariums!
They can easily tolerate a bit of Axo chewing, digging, and yanking.
You'll receive one of each:
-Easy Sword plant (6-12")
-Golf ball Java moss (2oz)
-Anubias Nana plantlet (3-6")
-Java fern plant (4-6")
-3x Jungle Valisneria plants (6-10" tall)
-3-6" Broadleaf Bolbitis plant
These low- maintenance plants were selected for their hardiness, and low light needs. They will still need SOME light. 4-6 hours should do it!
Grown both EMERGED AND SUBMERGED
Don't miss this extraordinary deal!
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.
Are you perhaps looking for a starter pack that includes floaters? Perhaps one with the most colorful species we grow?
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.
New! Fertilizer tab and Filter Plant combos!
You also have the option of adding ten root tabs and bonus filter plants 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 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.
If you select that option, I'll send you ONE rooted sprig as in the photos above, your choice of species: Golden, Neon, or Marble Queen Pothos, Green or Brazilian Philodendron, Zebrina Inch Plant (Purple), Variegated Spider Plant, Yellow English Ivy, Spotted Pilea, White Butterfly Syngonium, Purple Waffle plant.
As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there’s always a chance of harmless hitchhikers like snails or dwarf shrimp tagging along with your plants!
I personally keep several beneficial snail species in my tanks, including Colorful Ramshorns, Bronze Bladder and Pond Snails, Mini Rams, and Malaysian Trumpet Snails. These snails stay relatively small, help clean the aquarium, and do not eat healthy plants or cause harm. However, if you’d rather avoid any hitchhikers, I highly recommend checking out our blog on how to safely disinfect aquarium plants before adding them to your tank:

All plants are freshly snipped or harvested and packed right before shipment. I take great care in preparing every order and use methods that have consistently produced the best results over many years in the hobby. A lot of love goes into every package, so please don’t leave your plants sitting in a hot mailbox for too long 🙏
Thank you for looking, aqua friends! 💚
