I was skeptical of this order after reading some reviews but as someone who has purchased plants by mail before, I felt confident I could make it work. It went well for me, but if you’re unfamiliar with rehabbing a plant after being in the mail, I’ll detail what I did for this guy for anyone who might find it helpful.I placed my order on 4/29 and it shipped fairly quickly within a day or two but it wasn’t delivered until 5/5. That’s quite a while in transit, so naturally the plant came looking a little rough. Very dry and discolored. This was to be expected, but if you’re not used to shipping plants, it could be disturbing. It was packaged in a small box that perfectly fit the plant and had polyfill on top of the leaves to protect it in shipping. I’ve definitely seen better packaged plants, but it was sufficient for this guy. Immediately upon receiving the plant, I dunked it in a water bowl and then let it bottom water for about 30 mins. Once the soil was thoroughly moistened I placed it under a grow light and in a clear acrylic box that gives me anywhere from 65-75 percent humidity. (My average home humidity is around 55%) I have done nothing else to him since then. Today is 5/14 and the plant is thriving. It has a ton of new growth, its color has come back and it’s significantly bushier than it was upon arrival. Very happy and healthy plant after a little rehab. I’ll be moving him out of the humidity box today and let him acclimate to normal humidity. I have no doubt he will continue to thrive.If you’re used to receiving plants in the mail and know how to gently rehab a plant, you should be just fine with this plant. If you’re not comfy with it, maybe do a little research on it before purchasing this plant or be prepared for some trial and error. But it’s definitely doable.TLDR: this plant has done very well with a little extra humidity and a grow light. It’s taken about 9 days after delivery to fully come back to life and now it’s thriving. Great deal for the price

I purchased this plant in December 2024. It looked quite good right out of the box, if a little parched. I transferred it to a new planter and gave it some water, but I did not change the soil and I think that was my first mistake. If I bought this again, I would repot it in a better soil immediately, probably some sort of well-draining succulent mix.It did not do well, rapidly declining through January, and by March I thought I had completely killed it. It was a mass of dry brown clumps and I felt so bad about it that I just left the planter on my balcony for weeks before finally deciding to use the planter for something else....until I noticed one singular tiny green pearl still holding on to life.In the month and a half since I discovered it, I have watered it very sparingly and it has started to form a tiny root! I then discovered a second tiny green pearl that had fallen off the original plant into another of my planters and it, too, has a tiny root. I have placed the two tenacious pearls in a new planter and hope that this time next year I might have a new hearty little pot of pearls. I have to give this 5 stars for how strong willed it has been despite my neglect.

This plant is doing great under a grow light. During some of these have to be taken down and put under a grow light if you live in the winter time and it's close to a window. They grow and spread in Africa so they like a lot of sun. This was pretty small when I received it look what it looks like today I couldn't be happier! The soil must be good also it came as a very healthy plant! String of pearls can be a very expensive plant full grown and they are delicate if you aren't in a hot region. This is the best way to start to grow this cheaply! Well certainly buy another one

The plants are 5 stars. Excellent condition. Good packaging. Not great.But the package was delivered by USPS to my mail box which was likely an oven.I live in Southern Az. I will not be using this company again in the warm months. I just got lucky this time

SO pleased with my plant. The packaging was secure and the plant didn’t even have ONE loose pearl. I was so worried about opening the package and having loose pearls/roots everywhere. This plant, however, was packaged beautifully. I’ve had it for a couple days now and I still don’t need to water it. The pearls are very full and green. There’s obvious new growth spouting everywhere. My husband bought this for my birthday and I’ll say it was the best birthday present. I can’t wait to see how she grows with my other plants.

Hanging plant holder not included. It came with a regular plastic brown pant container. It was well packaged. I misted water just a little when it arrived but not yet a full watering. When it comes in, it does seem to be packaged and smashed down, but once you transplant it into another pot, you’ll see the different string of pearls that are growing. Looking forward to my next plant.

I bought two plants from this seller and unfortunately one didn't do too well. It came wrapped in something very fibrous that stuck to the plant. It was impossible to get all of it off. The plant was also very underdeveloped from the one pictured. The plant died shortly thereafter. A shame, as I've been unable to find this variety locally. The second plant is still doing well (middle in picture).

It came in the mail in a small box tightly packed. It was in good condition. I wish it had more trailing vines, but hopefully it will grow fast. It’s a gift for my granddaughter!
