Promising review: “These are like little green tribbles — without the cooing and rampant reproduction! I got them for my betta. A couple of the little ones keep the water amazingly clean! I also teach biology, and I love the Japanese culture associated with these unusual algal spheres (they aren't actual moss, but relatives of their ancestors). They are fun just as pretty little pets to have on one's desk or other not-too-brightly lit place. And they routinely pack a couple extras in each container!” —Kathleen Francis

Promising review: “Couldn't be happier with this plant. It arrived sooner than expected and in great shape. I was worried because we are currently going through a heatwave that the plant would arrive wilted and in shock, but the seller knows what they are doing. It also came with instructions on how to care for the plant as well as plant food. I have looked high and low for this plant at local nurseries and plant shows but no one seems to have it. This is actually a gift for my friend who's been wanting one for a while now. After opening up the package and seeing it, I kind of want one for myself now. Super cute plant!” —AmazonCustomer

Promising review: “This is 100% true... I literally tried to replant a weed in my yard and killed it. I think I might be the world's first serial plant killer. People come to my house and laugh at the flowers out front so I was more than apprehensive about buying these. When they arrived I was literally calling family members asking 'what do I do' before I attempted to repot them. They were packaged perfectly and looked great when they came out of the box. I said a prayer and finally plucked up the nerve to repot them. I'm proud and shocked to report they are absolutely thriving!! :) I am blown away. When I move I will be buying more to plant in my yard.” —Lisa W

Promising review: “These arrived in excellent condition. Very impressed with packaging! As I am of the plants themselves. Undamaged, no wilting or yellowing. Potted them the same day and they are thriving. It has only been two weeks maybe and I have a baby shooting up. Very happy with my purchase.” —theresa gould

Promising review: “The plant arrived five days early and I could not be more impressed! It arrived packaged in a tall box and was cushioned by foam peanuts. Although some leaves were bent, the plant opened itself up nicely after some time. The plant pot was wrapped in plastic and the soil was moist (repotted in the pictures). You can tell that the nursery took a lot of care to ensure the plant would not only make it through its journey but thrive once getting to its destination. This rubber tree arrived in stunning condition and is a terrific addition to my collection!” —Tisoy

Promising review: “These are great! They arrived much more quickly than anticipated. Each air plant was individually packaged in a recyclable paper bag and labeled accordingly, and they cared to additionally take the time to include a care sheet. I am exceptionally happy, very professional — thank you!!” —lo0ovebug

Promising review: “I purchased this mint last year and it's still going strong now in two different pots. It has a really nice sweet mint flavor that is great to use for tea, smoothies, fruit garnish, chopped in salads, and I've even used it as a green in soups. The large, crinkly, leaves make it easy to chop. My original plant sent out shoots that took root in another pot, so now I have two. I'm pretty sure it could take over an entire garden if allowed to do so. A medium to large pot works nicely. The leaves died off in the winter, but it all regrew in the spring.” —aLightningbug

Promising review: “Got this for my husband for his birthday. It's been almost two months and it has thrived. I think his favorite part is feeding bugs to the plant. We watch all the videos on the seller's website, they are very helpful. We also purchased needle-nose tweezers, a spray bottle, and plastic bowl to hold the water. He feeds the plant small crickets and spiders that get into the house. :)” —blue-skies

Promising review: “My African violets had an infestation of fungal gnats which are not harmful, just annoying. Rather than resort to chemicals, I read about predatory plants and decided to try one. The sundew was chosen based on 'cute' and its love of gnats. Within two days of placing this plant near the violets, it was hard at work snagging gnats. The more gnats, the prettier the plant and the more distilled water it requires. Follow directions and those pesky gnats will disappear.” —Zappo Sister

Promising review: “I bought these to make an arrangement in a large vase using some river rocks. This was two years ago. My plant is as healthy as can be and it looks absolutely beautiful. My living room is relatively low light, but the hearty lil thing is still going strong. I think even my plant killer friends could keep this alive (they have even killed air plants and succulents). It’s about three feet high now and the roots made a lovely display going down through the rocks in the vase. Can’t say enough about how great a purchase this was!” —JinnyBee

Promising review: “I was amazed at how much foliage a six inch potted plant could produce! I will probably re-pot soon to give it more breathing/growing room. I had a difficult time deciding where to put it, as it looked amazing everywhere I tried it. I also love that it is detoxifying my indoor air. This was ordered for me as a birthday gift and it was my favorite. It's only been one week and I like the air in my bedroom much better than the rest of the house. I highly recommend this plant. Also, This plant is very dramatic when it needs water, all of the leaves fall as if the plant is dead, only to revive again within a day.” —Adamn

Promising review: “Beautiful! I wanted this succulent for over a year and looked everywhere locally but without success. I finally decided to purchase this online and am so happy that I did! It is so lovely! I have begun purchasing flowers/trees from Amazon more frequently and have so far never been disappointed. I love the exotic varieties available and have been impressed with the shipping and health of the plants.” —DeSunshine

Promising review: “This BoP plant was beyond what I was expecting. It arrived early, it was packaged very well, no damages, box was labeled 'Live Plant.' The plant is large and beautiful, and the price was amazing. I have had the plant a little over a week and a new leave has appeared. So far so good. Very pleased!” —CLee8129

Promising review: “I may have to order a few more of these! This little lovely is doing so well, and it sits on my desk at work. It arrived packaged very well and healthy. No broken stems or brown leaves. This is an ideal plant for those without a green thumb. I don't know how many times I've forgotten to water it and it still manages to thrive. I think the key is to not over water it! So it's very forgiving.” —Chandra

Promising review: “Probably one of my all time favorite plants!! So beautiful and I love that it ‘prays’ at night. I have found that these really like to be grouped with other plants and kept in areas of high humidity. I have mine in the bathroom with other plants and also sitting in a tray or rocks with water. It has grown tons of new leaves and has even flowered. Love this plant and highly recommend it.” —Courtney Rao

Promising review: “I was very wary of online live plant shopping with home delivery. But it worked! It survived fine being in the carton over the long holiday weekend. I am pleased with my purchase even though I had spilled dirt all over the place when I opened the carton. Dirt cleaned up. Dropped plant into a pretty planter and it looks great. Since I am disabled and can't go pick one up at stores, this was a welcomed alternative. Thanks!” —retfunky

Promising review: “Purchased this for my husband who just lost his 20 year old sago palm to old age. I feel very confident this bonsai will thrive for years to come! It is beautiful and was packaged very tightly and soundly to protect from damage. The blue potting container is lovely. Some of the quills on the plant are bent from packing but that’s expected. Delivered in the rain inside a plastic protector bag and was relatively untouched by the water. I plan to buy more bonsais from this seller in the future, thank you for a beautiful product! A care sheet was also included in the box with the bonsai.” —Christine Silver
