Store with the best plant selection

Green_Flash · 06-05-2012, 06:29 AM

Hello, I was wondering what LFS on Oahu has the best live plant selection to choose from?

Best on island without a doubt is Aquascapes in Aiea. (Can be pretty expensive though)

Petland in Kahala is very good.

Kalihi pets is pretty good too.

Thank you, I actually had not heard of that store before, I will have to go and check it out.

Agree with petland kahala. I rarely see plants at kalihi pets when I go. Aquascape in aiea has good selections on plants.

Petland in Kahala has very good selections!

+1 on petland if you're on that side of the island

But for best results, call them up and ask if the shipment has come in recently. a lot of their tanks are like plant slaughterhouses- after a week, they're melted.

I went to aquascapes today, you can get a lot healthier stuff, rarer stuff, etc. But it's a little expensive and also, I always seem to miss the days when he gets new stuff in. but it's a nicer store than petland, imo.

It was 38 degrees last night in N.E. Pa. on June 5th and had to drag all my orchids back into the house.

I just had to poke into any thread that had to do with Hawaii.

Sorry for the interruption.

+2 or 3 with Aquascapes for the most plants or rare plants. Petland Kahala has a good selection if you're on that side of the island. Coral fish in Pearl City also brings in plants. Like Aweeby said... do a call before to see if they got a shipment.

Thank you!

With the "bucket list" concept being all the rage these days, rest assured I may some day enjoy the privilege of setting foot on Hawaiian Soil and enjoy Slack Key Guitar on its' home turf.
