    Hi bros, I've been looking recently for places that sell aquarium plants. All the places that I used to frequent in Jln Kayu, Seletar West Farmway seem to have relocated due the darned expressway works.

    Anyone got any places to recommend?

    Thanks.

    Dear mod,please delete the link if you find inappropriate.

    My usual hunting spot for plants are NA,y618,pasir ris farms,seaview,c328... Sometimes you need to book the plants you need with lfs,try to bring a picture of the plant for lfs reference

    Can try searching deeper in farmway the next time you go there.

    If you don't mind going further, the other end has plant farm like teo's. But it's really a long walk by foot.

    OT:- Eh, bro... i took the pictures myself with my own hands/legs/eyes/and Iphone...it is correct... the plant pond is within iwarna farm... but deep inside at the right hand side of the coral area... hard to spot if you did not walk in and see properly... but someone did told me they are under different management?? but i went in through iwarna main gate though.

    OTF pic is correct too... maybe lesser stones/rocks now..LOL

    @All, are you guys doing something really new to me. The new trend Bicycle-pool. .

    @xiaofeng90, Most farms should cater to walk-in. But the price may not be any cheaper. The good part is you easily can buy bulk compared to 1 patch left from LFS, their freshly harvested too. BTW, the posts are ok as TS looking for sources

    @limz, the plant farms look quite alike. All have many algae
