Hirt's GardensReverse Variegated Spider Plant - Easy to Grow/Cleans The Air - 4in Pot

Although I'm not the worst with plants, I'm often busy/worn out from work, family, etc. and am not always able to maintain a strict care schedule, so I usually buy "low-maintenance" breeds. I've never owned a spider plant before but have admired them and knew their reputation for hardiness.I'd just bought a couple really nice 14" ceramic pots and replanted my lovely (and VERY hardy) dragon's tongue, and I needed another plant for the other pot. I did a little research, decided on a spider plant, and ordered one from Hirt's, with which I've had pretty good to very good experiences in the past. It arrived promptly and safely packaged, I let it "rest" for a few days after unpacking, and replanted it in my extra pot with some (highly recommended) Espoma potting mix.A little more than a month later, the spider plant is absolutely thriving -- easily tree times the size it was when it arrived. By way of details, I have it near an east-facing, gauze-curtained window (which isn't the optimal lighting) and water it fairly lightly (2-3 cups) when the surface soil is dry to the touch.In summary: I'm very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend it to others looking for an easy to care for, beautifully colored and textured houseplant.

This is my 1st order from this company I frequently order indoor plants online from various sources This by far the best quality all around. The foliage is lush, but best test for me is the amount & quality of the established root system. She's ready to take off in her new home!!Safe & secure packaging. Strong cardboard box. Foliage not pinched or restricted. 4" pot wrapped carefully in plastic (which was secure but easy to remove!!!!!) then paced in paper bag. My only regret & a suggestion for the company is the use of the white peanuts. Almost gave 4 stars but all else is so outstanding! Perhaps a more eco friendly item could be used? Thanks! Y'all will be my go to for indoor plants for now on!!!

I purchased two of these recently, and I am very pleased with them. But be warned - they will need to be transplanted to larger pots very soon after you get them. They come in small pots, and outgrow them quickly. It is spring when I am writing this, so they are growing very fast. I transplanted the two I got to larger pots, and they are very happy. I almost waited too long to transplant them; they were starting to look unhealthy. But now they are brighter and standing up straighter. That said, I would give them two or three days at your home before you transplant them. Give them a bit of time to acclimate to your home first, and look for growth. Then move them to bigger pots. They are great plants, and the price is great, too. Just be sure to give them the loving care they need when they arrive.

Five stars, I just know people skip 5 star ratings. Packaged well with lots of protection and room to keep the leaves from getting damaged. While small, it had several spiderlings so it could be separated and made into multiple plants. I've seen transferred it to a bigger pot and it has done quite well. Very happy with this purchase! Showed up quickly too and the soil was damp, so the plant wasn't suffering.

I was really surprised when I received my plant considering the pictures that were advertised. I expected to see something full and lush, with bright colors. What I received was a very small plant, yellowing, most leaves broken, at five times the price that I could buy it for at the local hardware store. I had purchased this thinking I would receive a plant that was in better condition. The pot wasn't what they show in the photos either, it was a flimsy plant cell pot.I truly believe the photos advertised are misleading compared to the product received. I would rather have been shown the tiny plant that I got for the price rather than something that looked like it was at least 12 times the size and healthy. Then at least I would know what to expect.Hoping that this will perk up after being cared for for a while, but I'm not confident. More and more leaves are dropping every day. Do yourself a favor and find a local nursery to buy direct.

The plant arrived looking beautiful, but when I repotted it, I noticed the whole thing was roots, and no dirt in the former container. Nevertheless, I replanted it with miracle gro (same as my other plants) and it started growing... but then it also started getting brown tips and yellow leaves. I searched the internet for tips on how to solve the plant and tried flushing it with water and then putting it in a new pot with dry soil but nothing helped, I had to keep removing yellow leaves. I tried not watering it for 2 weeks and still nothing helped. I just had to say goodbye to this plant yesterday and am really upset. I am not sure how I could have made it better. The other plants I've bought through Hirt's are doing really well. I would like to buy another spider plant because I heard how easy they are to take care of, but I honestly don't know what went wrong. I am giving 3 stars only because I don't know if they sold me a bad plant that already had root damage, or if it didn't like my home.

I am seriously impressed with this plant!! It's beautiful, healthy, and shipped in only 1 DAY!I am also very impressed with the quality of the packaging. I should've taken pictures before I unwrapped it but I was too excited to see it lol. The base was wrapped in a bag, then in plastic wrap around the base of the plant and pot, then wrapped in a protective construction paper tunnel, then a paper bag, finally inside a small box with packing peanuts. I could tell it was very secure and did not move around at all. I will definitely be buying from this seller again!
