Hi all Has anyone used www.java-plants.com and if you did, what did you think ? I'm swithering between a 48" tank collection, or a 10 potted plant collection. I'd really like one of those Java Fren Coconut caves too, but they're not on the webpage, just in the PF ads. Peter I have used them on 3 times and I would use them again I only have brought the 48" collection and for the money its brilliant > Hi all > Has anyone used www.java-plants.com and if you did, what did you think ?

Can't remember offhand the collection which I bought but it was more than adequate for my tank. I will happily use them again in the future.

It's alright for you Sandy, you have a tropical microclimate over on Cumbrae. You could use pond plants Here in Gourock there are still penguins and polar bears ;-) Peter > Hi all > Has anyone used www.java-plants.com and if you did, what did you think ? Have to respond with a rare negative, I'm afraid. They only sent half my order with a promise to complete, but never did despite repeated e-mails. Perhaps I'm just unlucky? >> Hi all >> Has anyone used www.java-plants.com and if you did, what did you think ?

Peter "2pods" >> Have to respond with a rare negative, I'm afraid. >> >> They only sent half my order with a promise to complete, but never did >> despite repeated e-mails. >> >> Perhaps I'm just unlucky? Me too. I ordered a pile of specific plants (results of about 3 nights reading.......). Invoice came back saying something like "no longer stocked - please advise." I had been charged for it, IIRC. I emailed and phoned but no refund or my alternative. Looks as though they are ok for THEIR selection which they can modify if they run out of specific items? ken > Hi all > Has anyone used www.java-plants.com and if you did, what did you think ? [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > I'd really like one of those Java Fren Coconut caves too, but they're not on > the webpage, just in the PF ads. I have used them three times now. Their discount/budget collection (no longer available) was perfect for filling a six foot tank. Dave >Has anyone used www.java-plants.com and if you did, what did you think ? I have mixed feelings. I have ordered the collections, taking over a week to arrive (I was hoping for next day!) and in one case when I chased it I was told "oh, we don't do deliveries over easter" and it took TWO weeks. The quality was pretty good, although some of them were only semi-aquatics and soon rotted. They are good value, but very slow, and chuck anything they send you that's variegated. I might use them again if I was not too fussed about time, purely because you get so much for your money. I'd order more than I wanted and then chuck half.

I've ordered some Salvinia Natens (need them for the pond), and a 48" tropical collection from the previous poster's suggestion www.tropical-aquarium-plants.co.uk to see what they're like. I'll report back :-) Peter >Let me know what they're like when you get them. >I've ordered some Salvinia Natens (need them for the pond), and a 48" [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >Peter Hello, The plants arrived today. They are all fairly good apart from two of the Rorippa aquatica but that was compensated by sending twice as many as I ordered. SignatureSteve Wolstenholme Neural Planner Software EasyNN-plus.

Sounds good :-) I'm still waiting for mine. Hopefully tomorrow.

So not recommended if you are in a desparate rush. I bought on a Friday, but expected the delay in delivery. hope your plants arrive tomorrow and are as good as expected Dave >> Sounds good :-) >> I'm still waiting for mine. [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Dave Hi Dave Nothing so far Though the last email I had said the plants would be posted no later than 28/3, I didn't take the one day strike into account either. Did you have an email saying your plants had been despatched ? Peter > >> Sounds good :-) > >> I'm still waiting for mine. [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > Peter Yes, I did. But I originally found the store through eBay and was using Nectar points gateway and a paypal coupon so I had eBay correspondence. Possibly easier to manage than from his website.
