Xr4tiCrew Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Just ordered a few plants from Aquarium Co-Op and saw the prices have gone up $2 per plant. Ouch. What other sites do you all purchase plants from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 everything, everywhere is up 30-40% in the last couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepere Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Quite simply money is not worth what it was… as to co op vs competitors? I bought some java fern from a competitor in a plant order of plants the co op does not offer. Yes it was cheaper. But it was a single plant. I bought three more Java Fern from the co op. 2 plants per pot and all were noticeably bigger and more robust… If the co op has the plants I want to buy, (which unfortunately they dont carry most of the more difficult plants I want… and I do understand why they dont.) I will preferentially buy from the co op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanked Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 I buy plants from the LFS. Price is a major concern. My LFS's plant prices have barely budged. I can't say the same for the livestock. The real reason is that those plants are already growing in conditions close to what they will be in when I get them home. 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skanderson Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 I just ordered from Aquarium Plant Factory ordered on Friday shipped Sunday. I'll post here when they arrive. Shipping from CA to WA. Next time I'm in Edmonds I plan to stop in at Aquarium Co-OP, but APF came highly recommended from several people on father fish.

GreenSorceress Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 For the best prices, I go to my local club’s yearly expo (in the last hour you can usually haggle for a good price when purchasing multiples). The monthly meeting is also a good time if I don’t want to wait. However, since your question specifically said sites I assume you want a website. I bought some bolbitis from Dustin’s fish tanks a couple months ago which came healthy, well packaged and in a larger than expected portion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin has great plants (use code IWANTMORE) but imo hes getting too big for his britches!!! [old man voice] In my day you got his plants wrapped in yesterdays news paper soaking wet & stuffed in a hand tied plastic bag!!! Im not so sure about all this fancy new premium butchers paper and heat sealed plastic....... What will these kids think of next????

Your plant will arrive via a sheet of treated paper and you will use a link to print the new plant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
