Costa Farms Dieffenbachia, Live Indoor Plant in Thank You Gift Wrap Planter, Potted Houseplant in Potting Soil Mix, Housewarming, Birthday Gift, 12-14 Inches Tall

I opened this package up as soon as it was delivered- it was securely packaged, but, there was dirt that was loose in the package. To be fair, I do not think that could have been prevented, but, it came with a nice wooden dowel that was thick, to ensure the plant did not get smashed while in the box.I set the plant in indirect light for a few days so it could become acclimated to the weather here, but after about a week I noticed many yellow leaves on the bottom. Others have had this issue as well, if you read other reviews. I emailed Costa Farms and they asked me to send them a picture. I did, and they advised that sometimes after receiving a plant, the yellowing of the bottom leaves can occur. I was not impressed. The yellowing kept occurring, and I sent them an updated picture. Their customer service was very attentive and quick to respond. They said that as long as the yellowing leaves were on the bottom, and the rest of the plant looks healthy, it was no issue and the plant would continue growing well. Again, still not impressed.However, I pruned the yellow leaves and crossed my fingers. New growths kept forming and they were bright and healthy. The yellowing leaves discontinued. This plant has grown tremendously in the past few months and I could not be more happy with it. I encourage anyone who is considering purchasing this to take the chance. At the very least, their customer service was ON POINT!Inside the decorative planter is a grower's pot, which has drainage holes on the bottom. When the soil is dry, I remove the plant (with the grower's pot) from the decorative planter and water thoroughly until the water flows through the drainage holes. I allow it to sit in my sink, for the excess water to drain. Once it stops draining, I just place right back in the decorative planter. I give it moderate to bright sunlight. This is a very easy plant to care for. Low maintenance, grows quickly and is beautiful. GET THIS!

I was worried about mailing a plant. It was packaged carefully, traveled well, and is very healthy. I have had to ask a question of the seller but it was more for clarification. Not a problem. I would buy from them again.

Pro: the plant is absolutely beautiful and healthy. In one week, I can already see some growth.Con: the container holding the plant cracked in shipping, so when I took it out of the box, the soil flew everywhere. Quite a mess.

I needed some plants for our new apartment and decided to try this one as it is low maintenance and does not need a lot of light. It is beautiful and adds color and life to a room. Easy to take care of and has done well in various rooms with a lot of light and close to no light as well.

I ordered two plants during Amazon's spring sale. I rarely order plants online, but I recognized the company name and reviews were good, so I took a chance. The first plant arrived a day early and in great shape -- really healthy. I dropped it in a pot with some potting soil and it looks terrific. This one arrived on time, but it is in less than great shape. It looks nothing like the beautiful healthy plant pictured. All but a few leaves are limp and totally lifeless. I finally got the plant out of the shrink wrap and into another pot with soil. It might have had too much water. I'm hoping it will come out of it. If it does, that's good....but I had higher expectations.

The container was broken on bottom

Plant was as beautiful as the pictures and in really great condition on arrival. Delivered with care. Great great value.

Another lovely plant! Just like with my fiddle leaf fig, I must admit that initially I was a bit apprehensive about purchasing a plant from Amazon, being unsure of the quality that I would receive. But I decided for the reasonable price, I would go ahead and purchase her as well and I'm happy to say that Costa farms has exceeded my expectations. There was not a leaf out of place or dead. She is full and beautiful! All that I needed to do was wipe a few specs of dirt off of her leaves and give her a bit to drink. 10 out of 10 would recommend
