Pros:
– Plant arrived healthy and as described, not many leaves died during shipping. I ordered the “Large” and the pot size was a bit over 9 inches wide, tree was 3ft tall (measuring from the top of the soil) and foliage is 1.5ft wide.
– Plant was shipped very securely. Packaging was great. Even though the package was on its side on my porch there was no damage and the dirt stayed in place.

Cons:
– THE BIGGEST ISSUE: The tree was planted too deep in its pot. I removed almost 2 inches of soil from the top of the pot. This is a problem because there are no roots in the extra soil so it is effectively mulching your indoor plant, keeping the soil more moist than what is appreciated. Before removing the soil, the leaves continued to yellow and fall off even 2-3 weeks after the shipping stress (which seemed minimal). After I removed the extra soil on top, the soil dries out much better and the plant is now happy and producing new leaves.
– It took 11 days from my order being placed to the plant being shipped out (no weather issues)
– The plant is potted with its trunk leaning in one direction. I chose not to re-pot my plant and use a cache pot instead so I can’t fix the lean without stressing it unnecessarily.
– The photos are somewhat misleading as the angle is from the top down. I expected my plant’s foliage to be bigger and bushier based on the photo I received during shipping.

Overall it was still a good purchase and would recommend if you don’t have any local options but next time I will probably just be patient until my local nurseries receives a specific plant.

The team at Plantvine has always been helpful and that is my experience in dealing with them for many years and talking to the many sales associates I have dealt with over the years

Very healthy plant. I know height was in the description, but still was much smaller than I expected!

It’s in great shape, I did have to wipe down every leaf as they were all dirty. I also had to go through the top soil as there were tons of millipedes there. But it looks like it’s thriving so far.

healthy and beautiful – waited months before the weather was good enough to ship and no regrets.
