Costa Farms Monstera Swiss Cheese Plant, Live Indoor Plant, Easy to Grow Split Leaf Houseplant in Indoors Garden Plant Pot, Housewarming, Decoration for Home, Office, and Room Decor, 2-3 Feet Tall

Beautiful, healthy plant with good coloring. Very happy with my purchase.

My brother ordered this monstera as a gift for our grandmother for Christmas and I thought he was nuts for buying a plant off of Amazon. I own over 70 different plants and have an entire greenhouse room in my home. I buy plants on the internet pretty frequently, but didn’t even know Amazon sold plants until he bought this. His arrived and it was beautiful and healthy and larger than expected. I immediately got on Amazon and ordered my own. My monstera arrived with black leaves. I wasn’t sure if this was something that could happen with shipping in somewhat cold temperatures because the heat pack had been long over with when it arrived or if it was root rot. I immediately wrote Costa Farms because I wasn’t even sure if I could save it, and if I could I would have to chop it down to a tiny plant and that’s not what I purchased. I waited for a few days to see if costa farms replied. They did not, so since my plant had had a few days to settle in in its new environment I decided to pull it out and take a look at the roots. It did have some root rot, nothing terrible, but I did have to get rid of most of its new growth leaving most of the older and thicker roots. I potted down a size due to the size of the root ball and unfortunately had to chop all of the large fenestrated leaves. It will be fine but it’s a tiny baby plant now and I ordered a larger monstera plant. It’s been almost two weeks and I never received a reply from Costa Farms which is upsetting. Everytime I go to the store I check to see what the Costa Farms display has and I always bring home a new plant. I won’t be doing that anymore. I would suggest buying from another retailer online. Just do your research before purchasing.

I was hesitant to order a plant online.... There are mixed reviews on this plant, but I think it all depends on where it's being shipped to and the current weather?I live in Texas and we have beautiful spring weather with mild temperatures right now. I ordered on Sunday, plant was shipped on Monday and I received by UPS today (Thursday)!This plant by far exceeded my expectations!!! Packaging was great. Saran wrap around the base to keep the potting media contained. Only the new large leaf has minor damage, which is to be expected after traveling across the country. I sprayed her down with neem oil and wiped down really well as soon as I unboxed, and I will repot in a few days once she gets adjusted to her new home. Lots of new growth, no pests, and she looks very healthy!!I can't wait to watch her grow and beautify my home!!!

The plant came packed pretty good with 2 bamboo sticks to sturdy it. The soil was still decently moist when it arrived . I plan to repot it with an additional stalk that survived from an ailing Monsteria that I currently have. Considering how expensive that these particular plants are the promo price that I purchased it for was way worth it . The leaves were large with no damage to them other than there was a new leaf that had some damage. It’s understandable since the new leaves are pretty fragile so I can look past that . It also had an additional new leaf that was just beginning to unfurl that was still in perfect condition, so that’s a plus . I’m pleased with the plant and would purchase from them again.

Plant was in great shape when it arrived.

I received this plant almost exactly a month ago. Aside from the fact that it's a Philodendron, It is not even close to what was described or shown in the item listing. I have had this plant long enough to witness 2 new leaves emerge, and neither of them had any semblance of pink coloration on them. I understand that every specimen is going to be unique, but this plant seems like a regular old Philodendron. There's no variegation or speckling on the leaves either which is typical of the Pink Princess variety.Additionally, this plant arrived in pretty bad shape. I understand that ordering plants through the mail in the height of summer means a plant might arrive with a few brown leaves and some damage. However, there were SO many damaged leaves when it arrived, I was a bit shocked. I trimmed as many as I could without totally butchering the plant. As you can see by the photos I have posted, a month later and there's still some damage developing on leaves. In fact, one of them looks like the end of it was chewed off. I will do my best to nurture this plant back to health, and I know it will ultimately thrive, because I have a serious green thumb. However, I will not buy any more plants from Costa Farms. I'd rather pay twice as much for a plant that is healthy and is what I expect it to be.

My plant only lasted a month. It was beautiful

I was soooo excited I finally received this package. Delivery took a while but it arrived in great condition and well packaged. There was one leaf that didn’t make it unfortunately. The plant overall looks healthy, however, I was disappointed that it didn’t have any pink leaves. What I purchased was a “pink” princess but my plant has no pink in sight. I was so excited to see other reviewers and their plants had at least one pink leaf. I am hopeful it will eventually grow pink variegation but will have to update in a few months. I am pleased with the condition of the plant itself. It doesn’t seem to have any pests and it arrived with a cute white pot which I loved. Overall giving it a 3 because it’s not exactly was I wanted, but appreciate Costa Farms for great packaging and good quality plant. Now to hope for some pink goodness!!! Just something to bear in mind when purchasing from them. It seems to be a toss up on whether you’ll see pink or not.Update: just a few weeks passed and the bottom leaves started falling off. I inspected the roots and it was in fact root rot. I’m really disappointed and sad because she was soaked in water when she arrived. I hope she can bounce back from water props.
