Where do you get your plants, at least those that can't be found locally ?

Go to the garage sale lots there. Online this time of year and later on starts getting tricky because of temps. As a member you can post in Looking For and anyone can PM you.

Fishtail (one of the club sponsors) can order a lot of different plants in for you as well. They have a list every week that they can check  and then order in what you want. The garage sale is also bound to be full of plants (at least that's what I'm hoping...haha).

Thanks, I didn't even know Fishtail had plants !

Not to be dense, but I did mentioned "those that can't be found locally:P

I got most of my plants from La Niche as I find they are way above others in terms of healthiness and care.  But they can't get everything.  Especially as of lately the freight companies have been doing terrible.

Fishtail doesn't normally have plants in the store though.....they have to be ordered. So those wouldn't be local.....haha. They actually tend to have a lot of variety on their list....things you don't see often in the stores here. La Niche is also great because they're always bringing in different things.

Super. I'll ping Fishtail if I couldn't find what I need at the Garage Sale.  La Niche already has an order for me but their shipments keep getting canceled for some reason  >:(

Thanks everyone.

Guys, I already said 2-3 times I already know and deal with La Niche  :o  ::)  :P  8)

The problem is currently that their shipment keeps getting canceled.  Otherwise, I love the quality of their plants, it doesn't even compare with other LFS I've checked this year.


Let me rephrase:  where do you buy plants, online, getting it shipped to your door ?


Jitters

Let me know if you find someplace cheap.  I went to do an order online and the shipping was 4x more then my order.

We are putting together a Tropica order if you are interested. It's in the Group orders forum

La Niche is pretty good spot  ;D  :D  ::)

I bought some Anubias through Aquascape I think it's called. I found them on Ebay. Excellent prices, sometimes free shipping, and very nice, quality plants from what I've seen so far. Took about 2 weeks to get the stuff from them as they are in Taiwan (lol) but it's worth a check out if you haven't found yet what you are looking for :)

FYI - There are some people on the site putting together a Spencer Jack order, and there are quite a few plants on the availability list.

Hope it helps!
