      @@Appleton-WI my mother and dad made the pilgrimage to her Basilica in Mexico many times on her feast day in December. I wish I would have taken the time to go with them one of those times they went. I was busy teaching and raising my family and it just seemed like I couldn't get away. And then all of a sudden your parents meeting my parents are too old to go anymore and I miss that opportunity one of the regrets of my life. My mother brought back a huge poster of our Lady from her visit to Mexico to The Basilica. My uncle is a Franciscan Friar and was stationed in Sterling Virginia and build a church therefore New Parish called Christ the Redeemer. And they have a chapel that's devoted to Our Lady of Guadalupe and lo and behold when I visited there was supposed to my mother brought back for him on the wall in the chapel.

    Love the shirt! I also appreciate your honesty. I feel like you reached out to them several times giving them plenty of chances to correct the problems. In a way I kinda feel like they were giving you the run around instead of addressing the issues. I for one appreciate the honest reviews. I ordered my Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma from Little Prince after your video and the whole experience was amazing! Mistakes can happen but it becomes a problem when it’s a reoccurring thing and the companies are not willing to do anything to fix it. It’s how the companies that work hard to fix issues, are separated from the rest. 💚

    • @PamsPrettyPlants

    • @Dustang_
      @Dustang_ 5 лет назад

      I’m sure you did feel blown off by them. That’s too bad because I know you were a big fan of them in the beginning. Did you ever find out what was up with the whole shipping thing? The whole priority vs 1st class thing? None of that made any sense. I agree about Little Prince. The whole experience was fantastic. Sadly since I bought the RT, I haven’t seen them stock anything besides succulents and air plants. I still check every so often though. I know that’s what they mainly sell, but had hoped as well as the RT’s went, they would start adding different kinds of plants like that.

      Sometimes I feel like people have more sympathy for companies than they do for people spending their probably very small amount of disposable money on something they have every right to receive in good condition. Like you said, must be nice to not value money so much! The $50 I spent on that order was a big splurge and thankfully I got it back but not from Joshs! I got it back from USPS!
      Oh, privilege! ;) thanks for watching Sherry!

  • @JimMeeker

    I did the 10 pack from JF early last fall. 7 plants survived out of 10 and none of them are growing yet still tiny size. I did pot them up a wee bit and found many are plugs so removed that bit of whatever it is strangling the root ball. The two I am really hoping will grow are the moonlight philodendron and the pink leafed syngonium but as you noted on screen these might just be tiny plants for small spaces and not expected to get very big I did end up doing a community pot of 5 of them. Just too hard to keep those tiny tiny pots watered. Looks cute. Probably will not be ordering again. I bought a small monstera adansonii . A two leaf cutting from different seller and it arrived with four leaves not two as add said. Lots of good roots and it sat quietly for a couple months and now it is taking off with 5 to 6 leaves all popping at the same time. Very happy with that order. Was an amazon sale. Great shipping no damage to leaves. and it was like 11 dollars shipped as I remember.

      I did a few of their mystery bundles and most of the plants did grow up big and strong! I lost several though, they sent some that very clearly needed a terrarium environment that I was too slow to provide. I do LOVE their mystery pack option, I wish other companies would do that. That’s how I jumped into bulking up my collection and it was fun to try all the new things they sent. Such a shame they’re so sloppy with packing 🤪

      I do not have anything to use for a terrarium. Been keeping an eye out. I do thing putting a few into a community flatter bowl did help some. Thinking to lay some of my moss around the top of the bowl between plants might help add moisture around them. Sheese are we ever done with our house plant care???

    Thanks for the update! I don't understand why people were upset that you told us your honest experience. I bought a Levoitt humidifier, which spit water all over my house then died after I did what customer service told me to do. Everyone in the plant community loves that humidifier but if I were reviewing it, it would be based on my experience. That is what reviews are. They are subjective.
    Thanks to your information in a previous video about filing a claim with the post office after receiving damaged plants, I got my money back. In my instance the post office had literally sent the plant all over the state of NJ before sending to me so they suffered cold damage. I greatly appreciated the information and experiences that you share!
    That plant definitely look like a Prince of Orange.

So three out of 10 are finally showing more than just life.

    Hi Pam! New subscriber here from the UK :) I love your channel and have been binge watching your vids! I order a lot of plants online (usually from UK sellers) but one company has been so awful I will never buy from them again. They are based in the Netherlands but give the impression they're in the UK. Anyway, long story short I ordered 2 plants which took 12 days to arrive, they were bone dry, soil everywhere and stems damaged. It was in November and they were so cold the Ieaves looked transparent! I took pics and emailed the company and asked why didn't they offer heat packs, why was the soil bone dry and why was the packaging so inadequate? It was a lengthy email and they replied quickly, said they took everything on board and offered a refund or replacement. Chose replacement as, you know, they took my feedback seriously. This was worse, everything was loose in the box, one plant was crushed as the box was damaged. There was nothing to indicate there were live plants inside, so 'fragile' and 'keep upright', that kind of thing was missing. I was stunned and very angry, so I took more pics, emailed them and said whoever is packing these needs retraining immediately! No heat pack was offered either so they were very cold. They apologised again, took what I said on board (yeah right) and would I like a replacement. I opted for a refund. Such a shame as they had a great selection of plants on their website. I do use another online shop from the Netherlands and they are 100% perfect, heat pack for an extra £1.99 and sell terracotta pots that come with my plants without any damage anywhere. Sorry for the ramble but had to share my horrendous experience. I felt so sorry for the poor plants :(

    Hey Pam, you said that is the worst packaging you have ever seen? I guess you haven't ordered from Hirt's. They have the absolute worst packaging ever. They literally just throw the plants in the box and all you can do is pray. I continue to order from them because they are super cheap and fast. The plants do get banged up but they get better with a little care. People have found spiders and bird eggs in their Hirt's packages. I have yet to receive either but I am sure it will happen eventually. I have only ordered from Josh's Frogs once and it was decently packaged. I got my Pink Splash Syngonium and a Calathea Orbofolia. The Pink Splash is still thriving and she is a beauty but the Orbofolia died. I am on the lookout for the Syngonium Rayii from Josh's Frogs as it is the best price that I found, it is still out of stock.

    No hate intended! I am so sorry you had a bad experience with Josh's. I have had nothing but good experiences with them. I buy more on the pet/vivarium side of things. I literally average 3 shipments a month (feeder insects) and I would recommend them to anyone anytime. I avoid ALL other pet/ insect suppliers. I think plant problems could stem from the size of the plants (like you said) because they are intended for vivariums. Also, I am not sure but they are likely grown under glass and a switch in environment can really be stressful. I know they keep their facility pretty warm. I wouldn't say anything but I hope others know they have lots of happy customers! I don't know, Pam, maybe you should buy a frog! :)

      No hate detected! I hear you, and I need more pets like a hole in the head 😂😂I have heard nothing but good things about their animal/insect shipping and MANY bad things about their plant shipping. From my convo with Josh and the unhappy people that reached out after my video, it really seems to me that plant sales just aren’t their focus, they don’t really intend for it to be, and that is fine if that’s how they roll.
      But the low-cost and quick things that they could do to be on par with others really don’t seem hard to me. Plenty of others have far less issues. So I feel like it’s really strange that no effort is really made to improve this. I’m hoping videos and reviews like this make them better because I literally stumped for and promoted them CONSTANTLY for over a year. It just bums me out!
      But that said I have several good reviews on them on my channel to so I do know they’re capable of better. I think that’s why it makes me so bummed when they don’t meet that expectation they set for me.

I've never had a problem with their plants but I I take them from the box and put them in an enclosed environment. (In a quarantine terrarium always first.)
