Poor quality plants We bought three plants through Lively Root, which all ended up dying out of nowehere on us after the 30-day guarantee period of course. We are successful at keeping many other plants alive so this was not user error. We don't recommend this company.

Arrived wilted The plant was a birthday gift for my mom. I have had great experiences with Lively Root before so I did not hesitate to place another order. Unfortunately, the plant arrived very wilted and had dropped a lot of leaves and blooms in its box. Fortunately the recipient recognized it just needed to be watered and propped with a trellis, and now it’s coming back to life. I imagine the Florida heat was a factor during transport, but I was disappointed that it arrived in such bad condition.

Customer Service The experience with the customer service team at LivelyRoot, was not good. Firstly, the fact that you can't get anyone to answer the phone # for customer service is frustrating. I get that people don't want to answer the phone anymore, but the issue I had regarding receiving some damaged plants, could have been resolved in ONE phone call versus 4 separate emails between myself and the customer who purchased the plants for me as a gift. This experience was beyond frustrating and makes me question how this company receives such great reviews for their customer service.

Dishonest. Avoid I bought a pink princess philodendron. What I got was nothing like what they advertise. It was a premium price so I expected more. I did not get a pink princess but some other philodendron which shouldn't cost more than $15. Their 100% happiness guarantee is BS. I emailed and filled out the contact form like the website says and no response. Beware of the reviews on the website, they filter them and only publish the positive ones.

Rubber Tree Replacement I received a rubber tree plant and observed spider mites about a week later. I contacted Lively Root for help to rid the spider mites and they offered to replace it or give me a credit towards a new plant. I really appreciate them going above and beyond to serve me. They were also very responsive, professional, and kind. I am a dedicated customer and will return for more plant babies.
