His plants are really impressive. I did have a shipping issue, but they arrived today instead of Friday. The trident java fern is huge, way bigger than I expected, while the anubias coffeefolia is a bit smaller. But overall, they're in great shape. I'm actually planning to place another $80 order tomorrow because I'm so confident in him. If you're in the market for plants, I'd definitely recommend giving him a shot. My order included 3 anubias coffeefolia, 2 tiger lotus, 1 anubias afzelii, 3 trident Java Fern, and 1 java fern.

I gotta say, that Anubias coffeefolia is actually smaller than I expected, not big like yours. I think southoak got a pretty good deal on his order though, I'm considering giving the seller a try too.

His prices are super competitive, definitely worth checking out if you're in the market for plants.

I'm not a fan of the prices, seems steep to me. I used to get Anubias and Java Ferns but wasn't a fan of the wood they came with. They're low maintenance, I'll give them that. Nowadays I stick to Hornworts and Cabombas, you can get a bunch for a buck, can't beat that price.

I got an incredible deal, just $50 for the initial order. Now I'm getting even more value, 26 portions for $90, which works out to 3-4 stems of each. I've found that Anubias and Java Fern are usually pricey, but his are remarkably affordable. The priciest item I picked up was an Anubias coffeefolia rhizome for $5.99, which is a steal considering the quality of the plant.

Those plants look amazing, especially the Java Fern. The shipping was supposed to be on Friday but they got here today instead.

It was supposed to be 2-day shipping but ended up taking 4 days instead. Shipping is a flat $9, doesn't matter how much you order.

Actually, that sounds pretty great.

They only ship to the UK, sadly. The plants look fantastic and healthy, especially for 2-day shipping. I've had issues with 1-day shipping and still got brown spots on some of them.
