customer reviews for the Cast Iron Plant

Thriving!

I bought this plant in November 2022, and as of June 2023, it's still thriving! I had one issue with brown tips of the leaves, did a little research, and realized I was underwatering it. Now I use a moisture meter to check the soil 2 inches below the surface. When it's dry, I give it 4 cups of water. That seems to have solved the issue for me. New stems and leaves are coming up, and the plant looks very happy! I like it so much I'm about to order a second one!

Love them! They're the healthiest plants to arrive on my doorstep.

I'm so appreciative of the care and thoughtfulness behind your plant selection and shipping process--as well as your weekly care reminders! My plants looked amazing when they arrived and have continued to thrive. Guests to our home are shocked when they realize they are real plants!
