Where do you get your plants?

Antlese · December 09, 2014, 07:58:55 PM

Wondering where you folks get your plants around here? Selection seems somewhat limited in the LFS. I have a list of some plants that I want to incorporate into my 75 gal. I've found some online and a couple at la niche and petsmart. Big Als is a shot in the dark...I have no idea what plants they are selling...they label their java moss and sword plants, but that's about it.

Still looking to find:
Pennywort,
pogostemon erectus,
Pogostemon helferi (Downoi),
Pogostemon stellatus broad leaf,
Ludwigia palustris.

So what do you guys do? Just grab whatever is available? Or have you found an online source for plants?

There's also got fish and critter jungle, not to mention some online sites like angelfins. Some of us planted tank folks also travel a bit to Montreal and Toronto from time to time.

Most of those on the list are available in the Tropica 1-2-Grow line available at Critter Jungle, GotFish? and Big Als now - you could call and ask to see if they have them or when they will be getting some in.

I know Got Fish had Erectus in 1 2 grow, not sure if they still have any.
The stores I shop at for plants are La Niche, Got Fish & Critter Jungle, one of them should be able to get you what you want.
If your request for pogo.Helferi is not a huge qty , I can probably help you there, PM me

Just picked up some nice anubias from La niche last weekend.
Will probably pay a visit to Critter Jungle very soon to look at their plants.

Let's stay away from open solicitation in a discussion thread.

I picked up a lot of plants at the OVAS garage sale back in September.
