If you failed to pick up your parcel on the agreed-upon date and time. If you used your own courier. If you sent someone else to collect on your behalf. Damaged boxes - Please ensure that any damaged boxes are RECEIVED AND NOTED on the delivery note before signing to receive the package from the courier, as failure to do so may invalidate any potential claims. DO NOT RETURN THE BOX! You will not be credited if you did not receive the box.

All claims must be accompanied with good quality pictures. As these are live plants and we cannot control the actions of the courier service, we typically only approve claims that were insured. Approved claims will either be replaced or credited with your next order. Damaged plants that are still alive, while this is not common it does happen, in these cases plants: should be immediately planted to ensure their survival. Do not leave them in the box while contacting us. Any damaged plants must be reported within 6 hours of receiving the box from the courier service. All claims must be accompanied with good quality pictures. We will assess each case individually to determine the best course of action for your claim and the plants. As these are live plants and we cannot control the actions of the courier service, we typically only approve claims that were insured.

  • Ferns | Aquatic Plants SA

    FERNS Two main genera of fern are available in the hobby: Microsorum and Bolbitis. Most are epiphytes, meaning that they grow on a surface like rocks or wood instead of in the soil.Ferns are non-flowering plants which propagate by microscopic spores. Ferns also propagated partly vegetatively, often producing roots from rhizomes that can attach to rocks or wood ornaments in the aquarium making them easy to be propagated by the aquarist. Microsorum is a genus of over 50 species of tropical ferns with only a few that can be grown in aquariums (mainly Microsorumpteropus – varietys). Like most ferns, they grow from rhizomes, rather than roots. The genus name is often misspelled "Microsorium" or "Microsoreum". Bolbitis is a genus of ferns in the subfamily Elaphoglossoideae.Two particular members of the genus are often grown aquariams, B. heudelotii, and B. heteroclita.

  • Buce | Aquatic Plants SA

    BUCEPHALANDRA There are 30 species of Bucephalandra which have been discovered in Borneo. is derived from Greek words, βοῦς (bous; bull or cow), κεφαλή (kephalē; head) and ἀνήρ (anēr; man), = BULLHEADMAN,referring to the shape of the single male flowers. The main characteristic all the different variety’s share is the rhizome, as the growth patterns, leaf shape, colour and size varies a lot. The submerged leaf forms are SPECTACULAR in their colour differences and the white spotted surfaces give a new dimensions to aquarium decoration. Because Buce is naturally a rheophyte, meaning it uses its strong root system to anchor itself in the intense water flow and isn’t very well adapted to growing in soil, Buce grow best when attached to a hard surface in the aquarium and not planted in soil.To attach your Buce, simply make sure it doesn’t fall off before the roots are able to take hold. A rubber band, some super glue or fishing line should work well to secure the plant. You’ll be amazed at how quickly it takes hold! After just a few weeks you’ll have to give the plant quite a tug to remove it from its anchor point. Buce is an epiphytes that naturally prefer wood or rock to grow on.

  • Cryprocoryne | Aquatic Plants SA

    CRYPTOCORYNE Cryptocoryne requires a substrate that is fertilized with an iron-rich fertilizer. Regular pruning and thinning will keep it looking its best. Cryptocoryne requires stable water conditions to prevent rotting of the stems and leaves. Provide at least 2 watts per gallon using full spectrum bulbs (5000-7000K). The genus is naturally distributed in tropical regions of India, Southeast Asia and New Guinea. The typical habitats of Cryptocoryne are mostly streams and huge rivers with not too rapidly flowing water, almost grow in the virgin forest(Including semi virgin forest). They also live in seasonally inundated forest pools or on river banks submerged only at high water.The most important thing to know about Cryptocoryne is that it does not appreciate unstable conditions. Planting and re-planting will lead to dying leaves and very slow growth AND keep your water parameters STABLE. As with most living organisms in your aquarium, Stability is more important than perfect conditions that are unstable.

  • Anubias | Aquatic Plants SA

    ANUBIAS Anubias is native to tropical central and western Africa. They primarily grow in rivers and streams, but can also be found in marshes. They are characterized by thick rhizome, thick leaves that come in many different forms and lately small and even micro sub species are regularly available.They have medium light requirements but need regular fertilization with iron-based supplements for optimal growth. Interestingly, most Anubias plants do not respond to CO2 supplementation. Ensure the rhizome of divided plants is always above the substrate to limit rot.Overall Anubias is very adaptable to a wide range of pH, water hardness, and lighting conditions. Anubias is an epiphytes that naturally prefer wood or rock to grow on.

  • Buce - a short intro | Aquatic Plants SA

    Buce - a short introduction BUCE = Bucephalandra what is it about these plants, that is causing such a hype. ​ My love and experience with these beauties started many years ago when I wanted rare plants for my aquarium shop and none of the importers at that time wanted to import it so I could buy it from their lists. At that stage Buce was not available in South Africa and the knowledge on them was limited. But if you know me, I am a sucker for a challenge and I took this as a sign that I should take a chance. So I took the risk and went ahead and imported the first shipment. This shipment landed great and from that day onwards I was hooked on these Jewels. Bucephalandra is such an easy and beautiful aquarium plant that’s perfect for all types of hobbyists and aquariums from very basic low tech planted aquariums and nano aquascapes up to very high tech systems. Yes Buce are EXTREMELY EASY so Beautiful that I cannot think of a plant that can compete extremely versatile and can grow in nearly every part of a good planted aquarium Slow growing and that is a good thing because if you are killing it, it will happens slow as well and you have time to rectify your mistake Buce are easy! So why do some hobbyists fail to keep them healthy / happy / alive? In my personal opinion there are mainly 2 reasons 1. Planting 2. Water quality Planting Buce is a very important aspect, it might even be the only important aspect AND THIS IS WHERE A LOT OF HOBBYISTS FAIL! NEVER BURY THE RHIZOME!!! The rhizome is the thick stem/root that run between the roots and the leaves. If you bury the rhizome you are exposing it to infections and damage by the substrate, eventually leading to total rot. Rather attach the rhizome to a hard substrate like a rock, wood or other aquarium décor (not the heater) where they can grow like they do in nature. But because they are not in a substrate it is essential to regularly add a good quality fertiliser to the water for them to take up their nutritional needs. Water quality – This is important for all plants not only Buce. Buce just ask that you regularly do a water change (NOT a top up = That is NOT a water change!!!), add a good quality water fertiliser and ensure sufficient water movement. TIP - What is the difference between a water change and a top up – • When you replace evaporated water = TOP UP = you don’t remove any build-up of toxins, waist, etc. and by allowing these build-ups you make life difficult for plants like Buce that are used to pristine fresh water all the time. • When you physically remove aquarium water (preferably with a gravel syphon – if you don’t have special plant substrate) you are removing these impurity’s and replace them with fresh clean water Water movement is essential to wash away any debris and excess wax build-up on the leaves. This enable the plant to photosynthesise and essentially grow faster and healthier. Side note on water movement – When we receive new Buce we put them in tubs till they are sold and although we do a 100% water change every week, the growth of these clumps are less than 50% when compared with clumps that receive water movement, with the same parameters. Sadly it is just not practically viable for me, otherwise all Buce would have been kept in constantly flowing water canals. Buce originate in Borneo where they are found on rocks in streams that can vary from slow flowing to very strong current after good rainfall. They tend to grow emersed (out of water) in areas that are constantly very wet and totally submerged during the wet season. We receive these plants in emersed form because of 2 main reasons. A plant that grow in emersed form, travel much better and chances of die-off is limited. ALL plants that can grow both emersed and submerged, grow better when emersed because they have better access to light and CO2 especially. There are so many common names and each farm regularly “invent” their own name, making the names confusing and easily indistinguishable from each other. Then there are also the human factor, because when dealing with so many different variety’s you can easily swap plants. Furthermore I have received clumps with 2 or more variety’s mixed together, look at the clumps on our website (WYSIWYG) and you will find a lost soul somewhere. So I do not trust variety names that much. This does not deter from their beauty, it is just something to take into consideration. Buce growth difference between emersed and submerged is one of my favourite talking points on this species. Buce have the unique distinction that it get “sick” when the leaves develop submerged. BUT NO it is NOT SICK. The white-spots on the leaves are one of the 3 attractions to Buce for me. Why they develop these whit spots on their leaves are not known to me but I find it extremely attractive. The 2 other attractions to me is the leave colours and their growth preferences. Buce leaves colours can vary from bright green, purple, red, blue to black depending on the species / variety. Then you get different shapes depending on the species, this can vary from round to extremely elongated and have smooth edges up to very wrinkly. I love to see the development of these colours in a variety over a few of months. But you might even get different colours of the same plant in different aquariums. This is not a exact science as each variety may react differently, but a general rule of thumb for me was that buce that are under strong light tend to have larger and darker leaves while smaller and lighter leaves tend to form under low tech aquariums. (THEN while I edited this article I realised that the last pictures I took of Buce that I received 4 months ago, contradict this statement. Leave size was still as per my statement BUT the colours did not follow my statement? Thus proving me wrong – why this happen might be the different LED’s I used, the new green room it was kept in, the new fertiliser I was using or another reason I could not even think of now BUT this make it even more exciting ) Now how to receive, prep and plant Buce. This can be as easy or as difficult as you want to make it. Allow me to first explain what we do when we receive Buce and then what I do if I plant Buce in an aquarium. When we receive Buce they have been in a bag with minimal water for anything from 2 to 10 days, yes that long. So not only are they a bit dehydrated, but if there was any bacterial or fungal infection in or on the plant, this infection would have had time to grow. Therefore we have multiple steps before the portions are divided and packed in our green room. Step 1 Visual inspection – we are looking for visible problems and remove these Step 2 We dip the plant in our anti-bacterial / anti-fungal medication, so that while the plant hydrate it also absorb this mix to fight off future internal infections. We have tested this extensively in aquariums and found that a good rinse is sufficient for fish, but suggest shrimp guys to quarantine the plants for a few days first Step 3 Then we wash the plants to remove any debris and dead roots. Step 4 We remove old roots that will be in the way when we pack and ship the plant Step 5 we rinse the plants again Step 6 Final visual inspection – because my staff are not Buce experts and just to be extra safe, I do this step and the next step myself. Step 7 Portioning the plants into clumps Step 8 Placing the clumps in tubs, Add water premixed with a good quality plant food Close and store When you receive the Buce you can know with confidence that your plant was treated with respect and cleaned to the extent that no contaminants are present, but there are still excess roots and some leaves might have been damaged during all the handling, but this is no problem and I will gladly explain the steps I take when I plant Buce and recommend you follow these steps as well. Tools needed are running water, 2 bowls with aquarium water, small scissors, NEW sharp blade (scalpel), towel paper and super glue gel Step 1 Rinse the plant under slow running water for a few seconds, while removing any dead material and inspecting the rhizome for dead parts. Tip – the rhizome would not be soft and squishy, this sometimes happen at the oldest part of the rhizome and need to be removed with a very sharp and clean blade Step 2 Inspecting the plant for any damaged leaves I don’t want to keep by removing it with the scissors, I cut the leave stem as close to the rhizome as I safely can. Then place it in bowl 1 Step 3 Decide where I am going to place the plant and what roots I need to remove from the plant to ensure a good looking placement and get the rhizome as close to the “substrate/decor” as possible Step 4 Take the plant and shake it a bit in the bowl then I proceed to remove all the roots that I don’t need to attach the Buce to the position I decided to place it. TIP = I leave about 3mm of the root still attached to the rhizome, this way I ensure I don’t damage the rhizome. Step 5 I rinse the plant in bowl 2 to ensure I don’t have any debris attached to any part of the plant and all lose roots are removed Step 6 I remove the décor I am going to attach the Buce to and dab it dry with the paper towel. Then I take the plants and dry it with the paper towel as well. TIP = I use a fresh piece of towel every time, this ensue that I don’t contaminated the surface of this plant from a previously cleaned plant. Step 7 I place the plant and then add superglue GEL between the plant and the aquascaping and hold it in place for a few seconds. Making sure I don’t get my finger stuck as well. TIP = I use GEL because it is easier to control and I don’t make a mess everywhere – the GEL will not damage the rhizome Step 8 Place the décor back in its place and repeat step 1 to 7 till you are finished This is just a short version of the book I can write on Buce. But that is a project for the future ;)
