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

I would have given 5 stars however the soil even though it was secured for the most part there was a lot that fell out. I do suggest opening outside. I did quickly repot, the dirt fell off the roots and it seemed easier to repot. It otherwise came in great shape. Taller than I expected. It took the travel very well. I definitely recommend this plant. ... show more

Like many others I was nervous ordering a plant online, in fact I tried to cancel my order but I’m so glad it was too late. I got a really nice plant. It was packaged well but I will say it was very messy opening it. It’s almost like a lot of loose dirt was in the box and going everywhere. I wish I would have taken a picture of the roots because they were in such great shape and coming out the bottom of the nursery pot. ... show more

I took a chance in ordering this Cast Iron Plant online because the plant nurseries in my city do not have this specific one. After all the research i've done on plants, the Cast Iron Plant is said to be an indestructible plant especially for people who are beginners or have a brown thumb. I waited weeks, close to a month and hoped I would get a healthy plant with a lot of leaves. Well, this has about 16 leaves and it's pretty tall, which i was excited about. HOWEVER, as you can see by the photos, some of the leaves are unhealthy; some are yellow and brown, one looks scorched and thin, about 2 or three others feel brittle and cracked. I'm conflicted because I assume this is probably a good deal for $24.99. It is a very pretty plant. I just wish it had been in healthier condition. The plant came in a long box and i'm going to assume it was jostled around during transport because the container the plant came in was broken when it arrived (see photos). It's best to purchase plants in person if you want to be sure of you're getting better quality. ... show more

    • Nice plant & carefully packaged!
The plant I received looks pretty healthy, except for a couple small cracks & brown tips. But, for over $40, I was expecting it to be a bit fuller-- as it has only 6 leaves! They're fairly tall, though, so that's a plus! And it was packed GREAT! We live in a cold climate, and there were heat packs in the bottom of the box. :) ... show more
