Bespoke Post "Rooted" Review
Our new plant baby came with a card with care info. Since you could pick from three different plants, the card includes care info for each.
It arrived already planted inside a greyish-brown unglazed planter. I really like the rounded shape and the natural finish.
Water and Light NYC ZZ Plant in Planter - Retail Value $49.00
FYI: This plant is about 16 inches tall and the planter is about 5.5 inches tall.
So I have a plant addiction. Last I counted, I had approximately 48 in my home and 6 or 7 in my office. I am nowhere close to being Hilton Carter (yet!) but I do have a pretty powerful green thumb. Picking this plant box was a no brainer, especially since the moon-inspired pot was so pretty. I did notice that the bottom of this planter does not have a drain hole, which I generally frown upon. I plan on adding some rocks to the bottom of the pot when I replant with more dirt so that extra water has somewhere to sit rather than against my plant's roots, which often can cause rot.
I was surprised it came pre-planted as I was totally expecting to have to plant it myself. This was a nice surprise, but I will say that a significant amount of dirt was missing from the pot, probably due to a less than gentle transport journey.
Zamioculcas Zamiifolia is native to Africa and it is one of the easiest houseplants out there. I love their tall green stalks and super glossy green leaves. They have a sculptural element to them that feels really modern in my space.
My plant was in pretty great condition other than one section that was yellowed. I am not sure if this part will perk up or if it will need to be removed from the rest of the plant.
Verdict: This Bespoke Post was an easy choice for me. I love plants! Could you go to your local plant store or Lowes and find a similar plant for a lot less? Oh, definitely. But this one did come with a gorgeous planter and it is from one of those super hip plant shops that I have been quite curious about. Although it didn't arrive in 100% perfect condition, I find this is pretty common when shipping such delicate living things and I know that a little TLC and sunshine will perk it right up!
To Wrap Up:
Can you still get this box if you sign up today? No, this box has sold out.
Value Breakdown: This box cost $45 + $3.95 shipping, and I received one lush plant in a handsome planter.
