What to look for in a Bunnycart alternative
If you are moving your plant orders away from Bunnycart, these are the points that change what actually reaches your tank. Use them to judge any store, including ours.
- Plant specialist or general store. A general aquarium store lists plants alongside fish, food and equipment. Anubias.in sells live plants and a few extras such as fertiliser and isopods.
- Stated sizes, not just “one plant”. Check whether the listing tells you what one unit is. Our five graded Anubias state a leaf count for each size; our other plants are sold at one price per unit, described on each product page. Details are below.
- The delivered total. Compare the plant price plus shipping, and note the order value at which delivery becomes free.
- A clear claim rule. Read what proof the store asks for if a plant arrives dead or damaged, and how soon after delivery. We ask for one continuous unboxing video within 4 hours of delivery for any claim (photos alone are not accepted); the full steps are on our returns and refunds page.
- Where the plant comes from. An in-stock plant typically arrives within 3 days; a plant imported to order takes around 15 days. Plants we import to order are marked “Pre-Order” on their product page.
How plant sizing works here: S, M, L and XL for five Anubias
Five of our Anubias come in four graded sizes: Anubias Nana, Nana Petite, Nana Gold, Dragon Claw and Barteri var. glabra. Each grade is set by leaf count and rhizome maturity, not by a marketing label. Every graded Anubias is checked against a leaf-count checklist at packing.
| Size | What you get (Anubias) | Price |
|---|---|---|
| S · Starter cutting | Up to 5 leaves, one rhizome | ₹90 |
| M · Grower | 6–10 leaves, one established rhizome | ₹120 |
| L · Clump | 12–18 leaves, 2 or more growing points; can be split into 2–3 plants | ₹200 |
| XL · Mother plant | 20+ leaves, multiple mature rhizomes; can be split into 3–5 plants | ₹250 |
These sizes and prices apply only to Anubias Nana, Nana Petite, Nana Gold, Dragon Claw and Barteri var. glabra. Our other Anubias, including rare varieties, are sold at a single price shown on each product page.
Every other plant we sell has one price per unit and no S, M, L or XL option; each product page describes what one unit is. For example, each Java fern variety is ₹175 per plant, and each Bucephalandra cultivar has its own fixed price, from ₹299 to ₹649.
Not sure which Anubias size to pick? S is the budget way to start and grows on over the months; L and XL give a grown-in look from day one. The full size guide has settling notes for each grade.
Shipping cost and the free-shipping threshold
Shipping is a flat ₹99 on orders under ₹999 and free on orders of ₹999 or more, anywhere in India. For example, one S-grade Anubias Nana at ₹90 comes to ₹189 delivered, while a basket of ₹999 or more ships free.
In-stock plants are dispatched promptly after payment and typically arrive within 3 days. Each order is packed by hand: plants are cleaned, wrapped to hold moisture and cushioned to protect leaves and rhizomes. Payment is prepaid through Razorpay (UPI, RuPay, cards or netbanking); there is no cash on delivery, so live plants never travel back and forth.
If you only need one or two plants, a store with a lower free-shipping bar may cost less to ship. Our Anubias.in vs Bunnycart comparison lists Bunnycart’s free-delivery bar on plants as we found it in September 2026. Delivery details are on our shipping page.
