The plant arrived well packaged and healthy. I was a bit worried because of a few mixed reviews. I did cut off a few brown tips so the plant could focus it's energy on the healthy parts. I always expect at least a little plant struggle with an environment change...whether that's from inside to outside, outside to inside, local nursery to a home, different room in house with different light, etc. No one would know that this was tossed around and in a box for quite a few days. The shipper did deliver it to my porch on it's side. I was a little worried opening it. Some soil was spilled inside the box, bit not enough to get up and around the leaves. It will need to be repotted very soon as the planter is in very rough shape, but I'm going to let it settpe into the temp and lighting of my house for a couple of days. The seller clearly marks the box with "live plant", "this side up", and a cute little note that is supposed to be from the plant asking for help and for soneone to unbox it. So, it's frustrating that the shipper delivered it on it's side. It has abput ten healthy leaves. The shortest one being about 12 inches tall and the tallest being about 30 inches tall. So pretty! ... show more

    • 2 Months Later - Still Gorgeous!
I'm someone who loves plants, but I've never had one for fear of accidentally killing it. I now live in a location where not a lot of light is able to get into my house and I also have a cat so when I saw this type of plant was every list I looked at with those specifications I decided to take a shot. It arrived nicely packaged with a bamboo stick for stability, no bugs in soil, and no damage to leaves or stems. Only complaint with packaging is that the pot was not deep enough so some roots were exposed and also the binding made all the leaves bend a certain direction which I have slowly been trying to fix without damaging anything (as I said before, I am a new plant mom and maybe there is a trick to fixing this but I'm not sure!) I immediately repotted it into an 8 inch pot and I'd recommend getting one that's a bit deeper because as I mentioned before, the roots actually take up quite a bit of space. For care, I inserted plant food spikes into the soil and water it whenever the soil feels dry which is typically once a week for me. 2 months later and this plant is still growing strong! It has many new chutes and I actually just repotted it again into a 10 inch pot, which I believe will last for a long time now. Overall, I highly recommend this plant for everyone but especially for those who are like me and were always afraid of killing a plant, this is a super resilient plant! I also recommend this company, I was impressed with the condition and size of the plant. ... show more

    • Healthy plant, but delivery was questionable
The plant appeared healthy with no pests and the foliage was a healthy green. But, when I got the plant, the soil was very dry, and it had loosened around the roots causing bare root exposure for about 1/2 the root system. Despite this unhealthy situation of the roots, my immediate planting the root ball in fresh soil and heavy watering and the plant seems to be doing OK. I've not seen any new growth, but the present leaves are holding their own. I don't know how easy it will be to care for this plant despite the claim that it thrives on neglect, but so far no problems seen. With all plants that I bring into my home I spray them with an insecticidal soap insecticide and keep it covered under a large clear plastic garbage bag to eliminate any lurking pests that aren't initially seen. I'm now starting the third week of this process after getting the plant and it seems to be doing OK. ... show more

I was so excited for this plant, but it was such a disappointment. I opened the box and before I even fully unpacked it, I noticed that it was infested with scale. I had to remove the most damaged leaves and then spent 45 minutes removing all of the scale insects and washing each leaf. I understand maybe a mild infestation going unnoticed, but I can't imagine not noticing this before sending. ... show more

    • Too big for its britches
This was my first time ordering plants online and I was very nervous about this surviving shipping. I waited to make this purchase till the weather warmed up just to err on the side of caution. It survived pretty well, which might be partly due to this plant being difficult to kill. Like another reviewer, it’s roots had become densely impacted, looking like ramen. It otherwise looked healthy enough but I immediately transferred it from a 6” to a 10” pot. The roots are of similar mass as the rest of the plant, so keep that in mind. A less hardy plant won’t normally survive this well. The price was reasonable, a little bit higher than a big box store, but I’ve been unable to find a cast iron plant at these retailers. I recommend this little dude despite the shortfall, just be prepared to repot it once it arrives. ... show more

Honestly I wasn’t sure what I was going to get. I was too lazy to drive to the local nursery and since I buy all my essentials from Amazon, thought I’d try a live plant. My plant arrived a week later, to my surprise in pristine shape. It looks beautiful next to my fountain. I highly recommend getting one. ... show more
