Does anyone have any suggestions for buying plants online. I am looking for
a site that explains the different types of plants and their care
requirements.

I recently bought some from PetSolutions.com. The plants were
beautiful specimens when they arrived.

Unfortunately, I made the mistake of ordering in the dead of winter.
Despite the fact that the box had "Live plants, do not expose to
extreme temperature" type warnings all over it, there was ice all over
the plants.

A crypt and an anubias were a total loss, though it was two days
before the leaves all fell off. Two bunches of dwarf sag were damaged,
but appear to be recovering. And an anubias nana survived the ordeal
just fine.

So, I think PetSolutions is a good source, but that you shouldn't
order from them during a season when the shipper can easily kill your
plants by leaving them on an unheated dock overnight.
