Questions & Answers

Is there a way to fix the plant's leaves that have curled up and dried when it arrived?

The leaves are dried because they require moisture to function properly. I have six of these plants in my garden. Two of them have curled hair and are completely dry. Even after misting them, they curl and turn brown around the edges. I don't think the two will make it, but the other four appear to be in good shape. It's been suggested that it has something to do with the soil. It's not your fault that plants have their own minds; you can mist them to see if there's a difference.

Is it true that these plants open and close throughout the day?

Yup. We have a grown-up one, and it moves around a lot during the day. If your house is very quiet, it can be a little creepy. You'll be able to hear it moving.

How do I know when it's time to repot a rattlesnake plant I bought from you?

Every year or two, repotted rattlesnake plants are required. Wait until the roots have completely filled the soil or the container's foliage has outgrown it. The plant can be grown in a variety of containers as long as they have adequate drainage. I'd leave it in a 6" pot for another year or so, then move it up!

Thank you for shipping to Alaska; it arrived in perfect condition
5/5

Plant shipping may appear to be a risky proposition, but I've ordered about ten plants from this company and they've all arrived in perfect condition. I'm baffled as to how they manage to do it. I live in Alaska, and it's extremely difficult to find interesting plants or companies willing to ship to my location. I'm also a big fan of their packaging. It's practical, long-lasting, and eco-friendly. The sprinkling The identification app "Greg" is also very useful, but you should double-check it with another because it isn't always accurate, but these are still young plants. I've tried almost everything and this is by far the best online plant company I've found. They've turned me into a regular customer.

This is not the case
3/5

The plant in the picture is lush and hearty, with lots of hearty leaves. Today, I got mine. In comparison to the pot in which it was planted, this plant is quite small. There are possibly 6 leaves on this plant - For a $33 purchase, this was not at all what I expected. My local nursery sells them for half the price, but I wanted a larger, more mature plant, so I ordered one. I was disappointed and dissatisfied because what I received was a plant that was slightly smaller than what my local nursery sells for twice the price.

It was most likely lovely, but it froze during transportation
3/5

It appears to be a lovely plant, but it got too cold during shipping and is now completely blackened and wilted. It's unlikely to recover, and it's not possible to get it back. I would not have ordered from this nursery at this time of year if I had known that they do not include any insulation or heat pack and ship regardless of the weather or season. That is something that varies from nursery to nursery. I would have ordered the plant when the weather was warmer if I had known that this nursery does not provide any cold protection during shipping. Having said that, I will most likely order the plant again during the warmer months because it appeared to be very nice before it was shipped.

Please don't send me any more pictures of your plant - my close associates Let's talk about how incredible this plant is, guys!br>br> On March 9th, I received my rattlesnake, and on March 27th, I wrote this review
5/5

This plant is one of my favorites. It looks fantastic (capitalization required) beneath my mounted television, which we watch every night while binge-watching pandemic television shows. Because of my wife's enthusiasm for our plant, she has already sent a rattlesnake plant and the same pot to a friend. By the way, she isn't a big fan of plants. br>br>The packaging was thorough and sturdy, with only two leaves falling off during shipping. I didn't mind the broken leaves because I had two new stems growing in less than a week. One of my leaves has turned brown, but that could be due to another plant I recently purchased. br>br>I'd buy this plant a third time if I had the opportunity.

Plant is in good health! This was my first time ordering a plant online, and I was terrified of what I would receive
5/5

I was pretty sure it wasn't going to be good, lol! Well, I'm very pleased with the condition in which the plant arrived! It appears to be in good health, with moist soil and a well-protected environment in the box. I'm completely taken aback! I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops!.

This plant is of exceptional quality
4/5

This is a lovely plant that was packaged so well that it made it all the way from the seller to our home and looks exactly as it did when we ordered it. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because it was the only thing that I could think of. The only reason I gave it five stars is because it was a little pricey in my opinion. I couldn't seem to locate it anywhere else, so I paid a little more for it. The leaves are vibrantly colored, and it's a beautiful sight to behold. plant that is catching!.
