"This is my first time to buy tropical plants on Chewy and I had to go out of town unexpectedly after I ordered the plants so i was worried about the delivery. When I got home a day after it arrived, and opened the plant it was securely packaged and healthy. It’s thriving in its new home"

— Watson

"Dead and hurting, frozen. Uber dangerous."

Bottom Line

If you decide to purchase this product, be mindful of the delivery process and the need for better packaging to ensure you get a healthy plant. There is a mixed bag of experiences so expect variability in the conditions of delivered plants. Thankfully a handful of customers were lucky to receive healthy, good looking plants.
