Costa Farms Peace Lily, Spathiphyllum Live Indoor Plant, 24-Inches Tall, Spring Decor, Giftable Plant Item, in White Decor Planter

I love the Peace Lily plant. Not only are they pretty when they bloom (and the blooms are generally long lasting), but for me, they have been really easy to care for. I do not have a green thumb when it comes to plants, and oftentimes, when I am taking care of plants, even when it seems like I am doing everything I am supposed to be doing correctly, the plant ends up succumbing to an early death for reasons unknown. The Peace Lily is one plant that, despite my not ever following directions as to appropriate care (at least based upon the instructions that came with this plant), I have managed to keep happy, blooming, disease free and alive for years until just recently, when I forgot to water it and it died off. So I wanted to replace that original peace lily plant with another one - in part because I missed having such a cooperative plant, but I also liked the pot I had mine in and wanted to reuse it for another plant in the same place. So I purchased this plant from Amazon. It arrived really in very good overall condition. Shipping time took about a week (Florida to New Jersey and over a weekend) - and when it arrived and I opened it up, the new peace lily was in bloom, though the blooms were about done for and already browning out. The plant only had one dead leaf on it though, but everything else to do with it was thriving, though a bit out of shape, having been shipped from around a thousand miles away. The packaging of this plant for shipping was amazing - it's pot was wrapped tightly in saran type plastic wrap, held in place by bamboo stakes which kept virtually all the soil within its pot and the stakes also helped provide support to plant as well, and the shipping carton was designed to hold the plant securely in place. The plant itself was potted in a typical green plastic nursery container, which fits perfectly inside the decorative plastic flower pot that comes with it. The outer flower pot is very good looking, so much so that even up close, it truly looks like it was made from clay, rather than plastic, so I chose to keep this plant in that pot, rather than using my old one that I originally intended. Overall, this peace lily plant is still doing very well and looks great. My big struggle is deciding whether to follow the care instructions that came with this plant, or do what I always did with my old peace lily, which kept that one alive and healthy for years (though often left its roots sitting in water for days at a time) until a lack of water did it in. If you are in the market for a peace lily, I would recommend considering Costa Farms for purchasing one, but know that the one you will get from them is likely not going to be small in size (even if the height of the lily is matches its description perfectly). So if your space is limited in size for that plant, you might do better purchasing one in person elsewhere, (or you could prune the one you get) so you know the plant will fit your space.

I honestly was pleasantly surprised by the size of the plant when it arrived. I was not home but my 22 year old Son was. He called me and asked me where I wanted him to place them? Of course, in my living room with my other plants because that window has the best lighting. The plant is perfect in every way. Costa Farms produce magnificent plants. I really was not expecting this plant to be as tall as it is because the description and picture in the advertisement seems table-top size…wrong. You’re definitely going to have to place it on the floor. It took a little beating in the shipment because it was wrapped carefully and the pot itself had a bit of shrink wrap to keep the soil in tact. This plant is comparable to the ones that I used to order for close friends from a very prestigious flower shop in Memphis. This would easily sale for double the price, perhaps triple in this economy if it were purchased from a florist. So don’t sleep on this bargain. If I had know that it was a medium size plant, I probably would have bought two of these instead of ordering another one from a different company. There are brand new leaves in the center of it and it appears that they watered it before shipping. I would highly recommend this plant and would by from them again based on the quality of the product and the neat and careful care taken to ship it.

When I made this order I didn’t think it completely through after and then after I purchased I realized I had just ordered this plant and it is a AZ summer and 100* outside! But I had already ordered it and I was down for the adventure. My expectations were to find a wilted dead plant and then I was going to have to figure out how to return it. When it finally arrived at my house to my surprise it was Beautiful!! I was impressed with the packaging. The lily was still deep green with broad leaves and 3 small white blooms in the center. It looked perfect not at all like it had been shipped in the middle of summer. The plant was physically hot so immediately I took it out of the box and pot so it could cool down.Upon inspection I did take and Pune 3 leaves and a blossom because they were yellowing. I watered it, misted the leaves really well and I put it in my window for about a week so the plant to rest and recover and also get semi acclimated to its new environment. I noticed that there were a ton of roots and it looked like there was no top soil at all. I needed up just sprinkling some plain soil on the top so no more pots would be exposed and moisture would stay in the plant. About a week later I did a complete soil change. It was in the wrong type of soil, the roots needed help and I really like doing this with my new plants because it allows me to assess where they are and address issues if needed. So I found that this plant needed a bigger pot it had really grown out of the one they sent. I could see the roots and how the bad it was rootbound. It took me forever to try to tame it by trying to rinse what soil I could the roots were just extremely dense and tangled. I was able to remove some dead roots and beyond that it was very healthy. It did not come in the proper soil mix so I took care of that as well. This plant is just beautiful and fun and really good quality! Lowe’s and Homedepot have nothing on this company and I would order from them again no question!

I've ordered SEVERAL plants from this company, always comes in neatly, secured packaging so they don't move much in transit. Although this order the box did come damaged, but not their fault at all. Plant also did come in shock, black blooms and some blackening on the leaves. But, I'll blame that part on myself knowing that they come from FL and I live in MT and ordered this girl in Feb. I ordered my original peace lily from here also - dog killed that one. This one bounced right back and have had so many blooms, and I've already had to re-pot her.

The plant looks great however where is the ceramic pot as advertised? This is false advertising.
