It was snowing so hard when the plants were delivered. I figured that the plants would probably be fine if I brought them in as soon as the delivery person handed the box to me. There was a heat pack in the box, but that only helps during transit. A heat pack wouldn't help outside in 30° F.I listened for a notification on my security camera, and I kept checking my delivery status updates. The plants were perfectly healthy with no cold or shipping damage. The size on a couple of the plants were a little bigger than I thought they'd be. I knew they'd be really small plants in 2 inch pots. They were beautiful and colorful. I got two of the same kind of plant, but I really don't mind because I can combine them in one planter or put them in different planters in my house. As long as I don't get 3 or 4 of the same plant, then I'll be happy. The price is a great deal, so I mostly care that the plants are healthy and not damaged.I liked them so much that I bought 3 more packs of 12. I can gift some if I run out of room or get a lot of duplicates. I hope that the nursery does as good of a job of picking a variety of healthy plants and packing them safely as they did the first time. I hope UPS will be as careful with the plants as they were the first time. I will definitely bring in the plants right after the delivery driver walks up to my door with the package to help make sure that the plants survive the trip.This was my first time ordering from this company. I'm pleasantly surprised, so far.My second shipment of plants came. I made sure to be home and watch for notifications on my security camera for the UPS person. The UPS truck was still in front of my house when I opened my the door. It's freezing here, so I have almost no time before the plants get cold damaged on my porch. I got the plants right after they were put on my porch.They're all healthy and doing just as well as the first shipment of 12 plants from Altman. I got a few repeats from the first set, but that's okay to me because the plants are healthy. I'll use all the duplicates in one container to fill the container out.I have 2 more sets coming in a few days. They will probably get delivered together because I ordered them at the same time.I got my 3rd and 4th shipment at the same time. It was over 50°F today, so freezing wasn't a potential problem. The wind was so strong that my plants would have blown away if I didn't get the box handed to me by the UPS delivery person. That's why I made sure to watch for a notification from my security camera that a UPS truck pulled up.I got 3 kinds of plants that are totally new. The rest of the plants are duplicates of plants that I got in the 1st and 2nd shipment. While I hoped to get more plant varieties in 4 shipments, I don't mind much because they're healthy plants. I particularly wanted different kinds of peperomia, but I only got Ginny and obtusifolia. I really like those peperomia, but now I have a lot of them. I know the plants they put in the boxes depend on what's in season and what's available when they pack the boxes. That's one reason the price is low for 12 plants. I did get 2 philodendron birkins, so I can't complain.I want to put a few of the same kind in one pot, so I'll have a larger plant faster. I'll definitely give some of my tradescantia, monstera, and diffenbachia away because I now have too many.I'm still tempted to order more because I love getting a surprise. I'll wait a little while so I can hopefully get more different kinds of plants. It has been a great experience so far.

I'm so happy to have ordered these 12 plants from Altman's! The packaging is exceptional, the delivery was quick and the variety is excellent! A few plants arrived a bit limp, but I think once acclimated to their new surroundings and after a drink of water they will be okay. I won't repot them for a couple days yet. Would definitely order from this company again. Great experience and fun to see what arrives at my doorstep! Do it, you won't regret it! PS: the plant ID (Greg) app isn't super accurate. It would be nice if the plants showed up with a little identifying tag attached. I know most of them, but not all. Plant parent stress... LOL

I wish I could write this more than five stars! I was skeptical ordering through the mail, but they came beautifully packaged and all of them were healthy except for one and when I reached out, they responded right away and said they were already sending a replacement! Any time I need plants from now on I’m just gonna order through them! The only thing I wish was different is that they were marked with what plant they were. My Greg app keeps getting different results for a few but it’ll be fun to raise mystery plants. Great experience and very affordable. Size:Way bigger than I was expecting and some even had two in one. Healthy and large roots.Color:Bright colors! Even got a few plants that weren’t pictured.Plant condition:All of them were fairly healthy. I had to trim off a decent amount of dead leaves and give them water but they perked up quickly. Dirt content:Each plant was a little different, but overall they came still pretty moist.Moisture level:All but a couple remained pretty wet.

Overall Impression:This is my second order—while the first was a solid 5 stars, this experience was not as good, mostly due to the lack of response from customer service.Plant Condition:Most of the plants arrived in good condition.One creeping fig arrived with completely dry soil and was crispy. Despite my efforts, it was not recoverable.All other plants had moist soil.A few had leaves that were torn or had brown edges, but a week later they appear stable.Customer Service:I contacted Abby at Altman Plants using the information provided with the plants. Two emails were sent regarding their 100% satisfaction guarantee. I received no response either time—neither about care for the damaged plants nor a response regarding the completely dried out one.Plant Selection:Nice variety, some duplicates: two creeping figs, two inch plants, and two baby rubber plants.Also included were a prayer plant, a flame violet, a spider plant and others.Packaging & Identification:No physical plant identifiers were included.There was a QR code linking to an app that identifies plants, assigns them cute names, and directs users to a paywall for setting up watering schedules, etc.
