Most people searching for aquarium plants in Surat want two things: healthy plants, and a seller they can reach if something goes wrong. This guide explains where Anubias.in is based, which plants we grow here and which we import, what they cost, how quickly they reach you and what to do when your parcel arrives.
Where can I buy aquarium plants in Surat?
Anubias.in is based in Rander, Surat. Our address is G1, near Peoples Bank, Rander, Surat, Gujarat 395005, and you can get directions on Google Maps. The same details are on our store location page.
We are an online store first. The quickest way to buy is to order on the site: choose the plant and size, pay online, and we pack and dispatch your order. If you want to see plants in person, message us on WhatsApp (+91 81416 96983) before you come. Stock changes as plants sell and regrow, so a quick message saves you a wasted trip. You can also reach us through the contact page or at buyanubias@gmail.com.
Which plants are grown in Surat and which are imported?
The rule is simple. Every plant that shows as in stock on our site is grown by us in Surat. Plants marked on backorder (pre-order) are imported to order and take about 15 days to reach you. Stock status changes through the year, so the product page is always the final word.
Grown by us in Surat (in stock at the time of writing):
- Anubias: the five graded Anubias (Anubias Nana, Nana Petite, Nana Gold, Barteri var. glabra and Dragon Claw), plus rarer types such as Chili, Pinto, Nana White, Panda, Marble, Stardust and Var King. See the full Anubias range.
- Java ferns: Java fern, Wrinkled Leaf, Dwarf and Philippine Java fern.
- Floating plants: Amazon frogbit, water lettuce, duckweed and Ludwigia sedioides (water mosaic).
- Background and stem plants: Vallisneria Nana, Brazilian pennywort, Red Myrio, Rotala wallichii and Cabomba.
- Carpet and centrepiece: Monte Carlo and Red Tiger Lotus.
Imported to order (on backorder, about 15 days): Bucephalandra, mosses such as Java, Christmas and flame moss, Cryptocoryne wendtii, most carpet plants (dwarf hairgrass, Staurogyne repens, Hydrocotyle tripartita) and several stem plants, including Rotala rotundifolia, water wisteria, Ludwigia repens and Bacopa. A few Anubias varieties, such as Snow White, Butterfly, Congensis and Coffeefolia, are also pre-order.
For a Surat buyer, the practical difference is time. In-stock plants are grown and packed here, while pre-order plants add roughly two weeks of import time before they are dispatched to you.
How much do aquarium plants cost in Surat?
Prices are the same whether you live in Surat or anywhere else in India. Each price buys what the product photo shows, and every product page states what you get. The five graded Anubias are the only plants sold by leaf count; our size guide shows how the grades compare.
| Plant | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Graded Anubias, size S | ₹90 | One plant with up to 5 leaves |
| Graded Anubias, size M | ₹120 | One plant with 6–10 leaves |
| Graded Anubias, size L | ₹200 | One plant with 12–18 leaves |
| Graded Anubias, size XL | ₹250 | One plant with 20 or more leaves |
| Java fern | ₹175 | One clump of about 12–15 leaves on a small root ball |
| Amazon frogbit | ₹90 | A portion of about 3 floating plants with roots |
| Duckweed | ₹60 | A palm-sized portion of about 150–250 fronds |
| Vallisneria Nana | ₹80 | One bunch of about 4–5 rooted plants |
| Rotala wallichii | ₹90 | One bunch of about 12–15 stems |
| Monte Carlo | ₹150 | One rooted clump about 6–8 cm across |
Graded Anubias covers Anubias Nana, Nana Petite, Nana Gold, Barteri var. glabra and Dragon Claw. Some sizes sell out between harvests, and the product page shows which are available. Shipping is ₹99 anywhere in India and free on orders of ₹999 or more.
How quickly do orders reach Surat and the rest of Gujarat?
Our shipping page says orders are dispatched promptly after payment and “typically arrive within 3 days”. Because we ship from Surat, Gujarat has the shortest transit time, as our city delivery guide notes. We do not promise same-day delivery, and courier timing can vary, so plan for a few days rather than a few hours. Pre-order plants take about 15 days because they are imported first.
If a parcel spends longer on the road, how long aquarium plants survive shipping explains what to expect, and why new plants melt after delivery covers the leaf loss some species show in their first weeks.
Not in Surat? Delivery across India
The same plants, prices and ₹99 shipping apply across India, with free shipping from ₹999. For timing by region and climate, read buying aquarium plants online in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and other Indian cities. If you are comparing sellers, our guide to buying aquarium plants online in India lists what to check before you pay, and why buy from Anubias.in sets out how we work.
Which plants handle Surat’s heat and tap water?
Surat summers are hot, and tap water differs from one area and source to the next, whether it comes from the municipal supply, a borewell or an RO unit. There is no single answer for the whole city, so test your own water’s TDS with a meter before you choose plants, then use these guides:
- Heat-tolerant aquarium plants for Indian summers, for tanks that run warm from April to June.
- Best aquarium plants for hard water in India, if your TDS reading is high.
- Indian tap water for planted aquariums, which explains TDS, borewell and RO water.
If this is your first tank, Anubias, Java fern and Vallisneria Nana are all grown here and are forgiving choices. Our best aquarium plants for beginners in India guide covers more options.
What to do when your plants arrive
Record one continuous unboxing video, starting before you open the parcel, and send it to us within 4 hours of delivery on WhatsApp (+91 81416 96983) or by email to buyanubias@gmail.com. We need this video for any claim: a plant that is dead on arrival, damaged, the wrong plant, or below its size grade. Photos alone are not accepted.
If the claim is valid, we refund or replace the plant. We do not accept change-of-mind returns. The full terms are on our returns and refunds page. Once you have filmed the unboxing, rinse the plants gently and get them into your tank the same day.
Starting a new tank? Pick a ready-made kit
If you are setting up a tank from scratch, our aquarium plant starter kits group plants that work well together: a nano low-tech kit, a betta tank kit, a 2 ft low-tech community kit, a fast-start kit for a new tank, a 3 ft easy centrepiece kit, a turtle tank kit, a melt rescue kit and a desk jar kit. Kit prices are simply the total of the individual items, not a discount, and you can add a whole kit to your cart in one step.
