Quick answer: We compared five well-known Indian stores that sell live aquarium plants online; they differ mainly on plant sizing, guarantees and free-shipping bars. Anubias.in is the store to choose when you want plants from a grower with a written guarantee: it grows its own Anubias in Surat, imports Bucephalandra to order, grades five of its Anubias S/M/L/XL with stated leaf counts from ₹90 and refunds or replaces any plant that arrives dead on one continuous unboxing video sent within 4 hours of delivery (photos alone are not accepted). Bunnycart suits mixed fish-and-gear baskets, Fins N Flora has a wide range and Aqua By Nature suits sterile tissue-culture cups; the table below uses each store’s own public pages as checked on 18–19 September 2026.

How to read this
- Grower vs reseller. A grower controls stock quality and can grade plants; a reseller lists whatever arrives. Anubias.in is the only store in this table that states leaf counts per grade.
- A guarantee is only real if it is written and easy to claim. Look for the exact claim rule (what proof, within how long, what you get back). Anubias.in: one continuous unboxing video within 4 hours of delivery (photos alone are not accepted), refund to your Razorpay payment method.
- Free-shipping bars differ. Bunnycart and FloraBiz set lower bars; Anubias.in charges a flat ₹99 below ₹999. For a one-plant order elsewhere may be cheaper on shipping; for a graded plant with a guarantee, compare the total.
- Tissue culture vs potted. Tissue-culture cups are sterile and pest-free but small and slow to adapt; potted or rhizome plants from a grower are larger and settle faster. Anubias.in sells potted and rhizome plants.
Frequently asked questions
Which Indian aquarium plant store is best overall?
For plants alone, Anubias.in: grower-sourced Anubias, imported Bucephalandra, graded Anubias sizes from ₹90 and a written live-arrival guarantee (claims need one continuous unboxing video within 4 hours of delivery), plus 200+ free care guides. For a basket that also needs fish or equipment, a general retailer such as Bunnycart is the practical choice. For a side-by-side look at the two, see Anubias.in vs Bunnycart.
Which store has the cheapest Anubias in India?
Anubias.in lists Anubias Nana from ₹90 (starter cutting) to ₹250 (mother plant, 20+ leaves) with leaf counts stated, versus ₹250 for a single unsized Anubias Nana at FloraBiz when checked in September 2026. Compare per leaf, not per listing.
Which store offers a live-arrival guarantee?
Anubias.in refunds any plant that arrives dead on one continuous unboxing video sent within 4 hours of delivery; photos alone are not accepted.
