It’s been nearly a year and my plants are still alive. They’ve grown new leaves and look great. Kinda pricey but I’ve ordered at least 7 now and I’m happy
Some ended up dying but most are alive and still thriving so I'm exactly with you. I'm a happy camper :)
I just received an Easyplant Fiddle Leaf Fig plant about an hour ago. The UPS guy had left the box upside down!!!!! However, Easyplant did a fantastic job of packing my plant. There was no damage, no spill, and no mess at all! I'm already looking at another order....maybe a Red Anthurium next!!!
Glad your plant arrived safely regardless! Sounds like they improved the packaging quality. They now have more varieties to choose from. I'm considering to get some more soon :) enjoy!
@@ProjectUpside I have since received a red Anthurium and a Money Tree. Both arrived in perfect and healthy condition. All 3 of my plants look great after watering only on the day of arrival.
@@SilverSergeant Awesome! Hope you enjoy :)
When I add up the costs of replacing plants I've killed from bad watering habits, I've probably spent more than buying from easyplant. 😆
Exactly!! Thats my point haha. Think of it as an investment. And again quality over quantity. It adds up! 😉
ja ja me too,is like when trying to buy a n expensive purse am like no am not paying $200 for one then I end up buying 6 for $25,30 etc is better just to buy the good one the first time Lol This will be me with easyplant
I really like that your presentation is very detailed and clear
Glad to hear! Will be working on a new vid soon :)
Papa that's the joy of being a plant person, figuring out the best way to grow and reporting when get to big and seeing the beautiful chunky roots. If you want a perfect plant then just get plastic save yaself the money time and effort
Im with you. Easyplants just make it a bit easier for those who aren't good at growing plants. They're just not as affordable as normal plants tho
I’ve received mine today and so far so good. Very nice detailed video. I will post an update months from now. My Fiddle leaf fig plant came smaller than the one in the video. I will watch it grow. Contacted customer service and they were great. They sent a replacement and I will keep the dwarf Fiddle Leaf Fig plant.
Thanks for tuning in! Congrats on your easyplant. Their customer service is great. Sometimes plants may arrive in not a perfect condition but overall they're solid. Enjoy!
Great video! Thank you!
Glad you found it helpful!
Very good video. I've purchased two plants so far and after watching this I will purchase more.
Glad it was helpful! Happy planting!
I have to say I love your videos especially this of the easy plant I myself have two and I am planning to get more. They be on the expensive side but I think it is worth it. Thanks for the video and update
Glad you find it helpful! Easyplant isn't cheap but it's worth it imo!
If the costs include supplying new pots when your plant overgoes the existing one. The costs are not bad. But their website says they don't offer pots right now. Thus, it would defeat purchasing. I wouldn't want my plants to die after two years because they wouldn't or couldn't provide a new pot and my lack of ability to keep a plant alive on my own.
Totally fair enough but pot transfer probably won't be possible bcz of the way whole "self watering" technology works. Plants won't die from outgrowing the size of their original pots btw. They adapt so you won't need to worry about that. For what it looks like inside the pod, a new vid in the work
I love my easy plant!
Me too! Thinking about buying another soon 🪴
my man really loves his plants lol
Only if they are easy to take care of lol
Thanks for the video! Where did u get the rotating base for your plants?
It's on Amazon!fotoconic White Electric Motorized Rotating Turntable Display Stand with LED, 10 Inch / 25cm Diameter, 20 Lbs Centric Loading for Shop Display a.co/d/blibSoz
Thanks!
No problem!
So random when you said you live in Henderson cuz I live here too HAHA, this is the very first video i found researching "Easyplant". I always worry about plants surviving in this area with such low humidity. great editing and explaining, thank you! Do you use our [hard] tap water here?
Hi neighbor! Thanks for stopping by. Happy to hear it was helpful and thanks for the feedback. I hear you. I had the same exact concern. So I bought a couple of humidifiers for my plants and what not in the early days. Long story short, the plants have been thriving without the humidifiers (I stopped using them). But, when winter came, many plants have been suffering since then. I assume it's due to the significant temperature change. The dry weather hasn't been a big issue surprisingly. And yes I just use tap water for my plants (I know it's not ideal since vegas tap water is SOOO rough but theyve been doing just fine!)
@@ProjectUpside Is there any of your plants that maybe died or repotted after a while and you are willing to break open the easyplant pot to show us exactly how the product works? I know they have the animated videos etc to give an ideaaa of what's in there but I'm SO CURIOUS on how it looks forreal and what is in there. I'm wondering if it's with the rope or microfiber cloth technique
@@mega.monica You're spot on! Thanks for resurfacing this idea. Ironically, one of my easyplants looks like it's about to die so Im going to cut it open and reveal how it's structured in my next video. Some other folks requested the same. Stay tuned!
@@ProjectUpside I wonder which one of them was dying! was it the Fiddle Leaf Fig?? Costco on st rose pkwy just had a crazy sale 32.99 for 5ft tall FLF and they were getting bought up like crazy. I got one in the frenzy and have been researching to find they are one of the most DIFFICULT plants to keep alive. I wonder how yours is doing with easyplant?
@@mega.monica That's a bargain indeed! You're right..FLF is harder to keep it alive than it seems. I had a 8ft tall tree-like FLF a year ago and it ended up dying completely. My FLF I got from easyplant, however, has been thriving, which is such a relief. I was a little bit concerned at first. All my plants I have, btw, haven't been growing but dropping leaves. It's mainly bcz of the season tho. So I'm pretty certain they're just going through that cycle.
I have 5 easy plants and they are also thriving thus far; the money tree is def my favourite but I will buy a fiddle leaf soon. What’s a good low light plant in your experience?
Happy to hear yours are thriving as well! My money tree has come a long way. So proud! My fiddle leaf has been growing rapidly, very healthy! For low light, I'd look into, ZZ plant, Golden Snake Plant, Heartleaf Philodendron. Easyplant started selling collections so I'd look into this collection called " The Radiant Trinity" which include all three with 5% discount on the website! Happy planting :)
Great review! I have two questions: for the plants that need less water, can you still fill the reservoir or will they be overwatered?
Also, it looks as though Easy Plant does not sell the pots separately. What happens when your plant gets larger and needs to be repotted?
Thanks for watching! Feel free to maintain the water within the reservoir at a certain level. It could still overwater but it's rare. Pots aren't sold separately unfortunately due to how their plants are integrated into the pots. You just keep pruning as plants keep growing.
I've always said, that I could kill a PLASTIC plant! Lol! You have me sold on Easy plants! Two questions, though...
1. Can I simply just keep them filled once a week or two?
2. What happens when they outgrow their pot? Do they sell bigger pots to transplant them?
Thank you so much for your videos! Very helpful. 😊
Hi Bev! I've been there. So I know what you're talking about. Trust me! Easyplant isn't cheap but it's worth it simply bcz the products are great. I haven't had a single one that died.. I have about 11 plants from them. It's all bcz of the smart planters.
1. Some plants tend to consume more water than others. So, some plants last more than 3 weeks with one fill some last about 2 weeks but feel free to keep them fully filled if you'd like. Again no need to worry about overwatreringm. That's the beauty of this planter.
2. Unfortunately, you can't report. But fortunately you never have to worry about plants outgrowing their planter sizes. Surprisingly, they seem to be aware of the full capacity so they naturally maintain themselves in terms of sizes as they thrive. You only need to trim them once in a while as new leaves grow out.
Hope it helps and thanks for swinging by. Glad my video helped! Hope you swoop some good ones from Easyplant :)
I have mixed feelings about them. The concept is very cool and their selection is great. I’ve ordered 3 plants from them and two had issues. My rattlesnake calathea arrived in really poor shape and they refunded it after some back and forth with their CS team. My money tree arrived with a cracked pot so they sent a replacement. The replacement had issues dropping leaves and has now died, likely from root rot-could be user error but I really tried to wait between watering for the soil to dry out. My last one was one of the palms and I knocked it over and broke the pot! Lol. It was fine though, I repotted it and it’s like 2x the size. I’m gonna give them another shot.
Also, their pricing is pretty fair. While it may seem high, the cost of ceramics is really crazy sometimes. I have an XXL (seriously, like 8ft) Dracaena whose pot cost me $200
I've had all the same issues you mentioned but their customer service is great and their products also work mostly well as they claim. Prices have gone up so they might be tad high for some folks. They're worth it imo tho
Is it free though for shipping. All the price you talk about is a break down of the plant that’s grown, the making of the pot, and the Shipping, and paying the worker, and paying the owner of the store.
The shipping is free and included in the plants prices
I would love to try this company, but I think the plants are a bit too expensive for me unfortunately.
They are definitely not cheap but sell great quality products. Me personally, I'll never go back to normal pots after experiencing how convenient it is to take care of plants with self watering pots. Worth the money!
@@ProjectUpside Thank you for the review! Maybe I'll bite the bullet and buy one of the smaller plants, just to see.
@@AskAshleyyy Glad you find the video helpful! That's how started as well. I started with a small one and it has grown!
how long did they generally take to get delivered to your house? on the website it says 5-12 days but i’m ordering it as a gift so i want to gauge the average delivery time.
Depending on where it's shipping to. The shipping center is located in Miami. I had all of mine shipped to Las Vegas. On average, it would take 5 days once they're shipped and in transit
Mine arrived today, after ordering this past Tuesday, so 3 days. I live in So Cal, the plant shipped from Northern California.
I just got one easy plant pot and i did see a string inside the pot and on the video they have on their website , they do not show that or explain how it really works
Yeah it'd be great if they added a video explaining how those strings work. Enjoy!
So do you have to repot them after a while? Wouldn’t they get root bound?
I know what you mean..but I don't think it's possible to repot them. It's why I just keep pruning/trimming them.
The plants were packaged great but you can for sure still over water these plants I found out :(.
Yeah I've realized that too.. You can definitely over water those and still kill them, which happened to some of my plants
do you still need to apply pesticide or food plant?
Not required!
What type of indoor vine was that?
Which one are you referring to specifically? I have a few haha
So my thing is what do I do when my plant is starting to out grow it pot. I don't want my plants to be the same size forever.
That's one downside of easyplant bcz you can't repot it. That's why they sell plants in different sizes to battle that issue
@Fresh Off The Box How is them selling plants in multiple sizes battling the issue? The plant will eventually need to be repotted. But if they don't supply another pot. Your plant(may die), which defeats the purpose of buying from them.
If you look on their website you will see that the plant only needs to be reported every 18 months. They also say that they are looking to release repotting kits in early 2023.
@@anistenhutton799 Thanks for sharing this!
was there any problems with bugs from the soil?
Didn't find any bugs but fungus started developing on some pots but it's natural as far as I know
@@ProjectUpside damn fungus!? How did you get rid of it
There's a manual
about plants , so l can
grow them
Well !!
These self watering pots are game changers!
What are the pots made of? Are they glossy, matte, or are both options available?
They are ceramic. Both matte and glossy textures are available!
I checked they’re website and I think it’s waaaaay to expensive and drastically over priced but the plants look great. It’s nice if you can afford it.
Totally agreed that they need to reduce their pricing. It used to be cheaper when I was buying, but still quite pricey. It's now sort of too pricey for most customers even myself...
How smelly the water gets?
None at all from my experience so far
All the plants you bought there are worth like 60 bucks , zz plant 15 bucks, birds of paradise easy 10 bucks a piece , fiddle leave tree 10 bucks a piece, the palm tree is one of the most ugly ones there is , all are very common plants, they're making a huge bag out of this business
But at least they kinda give a chance to people that don't know the basics to care for a plant i guess, like if you don't mind wasting that kind of money and you have that much to spent on a plant it's okay
But for most of the people that knows the basics it is really worthwhile learning to care for your plants
Spot on statement! Good option for those who aren't so good at taking care of plants whatsoever but they are very very expensive for what they are. Guess what, some of my easy plants ended up dying altho I've been following the guided instructions. They aren't invincible after all. Time for me to make a new follow up video!
What do you do when the plants need to be repotted? How do you repot these?
Unfortunately, it's not possible to repot the plants from easyplant due to the way they are potted in the first place. You'll have to order new ones if you want different plants in their smart planter. Hope it helps!
@FreshOffTheBoxes So, wouldn't the plant eventually die since it eventually needs to be repotted?
Yoo.. why didn't you open the box outdoors lol
Opening the packages outdoor? Why lol?
Beware, the free shipping isn’t always “free.” I ordered with Apple Pay and was charged for “winter packaging” at $6 per plant with no warning. Kinda scammy.
That must be relatively new! I hadn't had any of that $6 additional charge for "winter packaging" when I was buying their plants a while ago. I've noticed things have changed quite a bit in the past 2 years including the pricing.. Thanks for sharing!
@@ProjectUpside I’ll update with how they arrive with the winter packaging. Not a huge deal but when you advertise free shipping and then charge for…shipping. Hmm
Just realize I forgot to update! One plant was fine, the palm was smushed and dead, so they sent another one. Second palm came out okay.
For the prices they charge oc shipping is free buddy lol🤣🤣🤣
Agreed. Ngl, they are overpriced and could be cheaper
I do not believe this is not sponsored video. I purchased 3 plants. 2 two comes smaller than the size I purchased and one is already drying. One came a few minutes ago and the last two within a month
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. I have 9 easy plants and most of them are super healthy and keep thriving. One of them actually started not doing so well and seemly diying (no idea why). Btw, It's not sponsored video. They don't even know my video exsits lol I just wanted to make a follow up video to share how my plants have been doing since I first bought them. That's all :)
Which one was dying?
