American Plant Exchange Rosemary Herb – Live 6-Inch Potted Edible Plant, Fragrant Evergreen Culinary Herb for Cooking, Indoor Windowsill, Patio Garden & Outdoor Container Landscaping

This little rosemary plant arrived in OK shape. I download the plant app they recommend on the card that they send with it, I did everything they told me to do but it died. I can’t honestly say it is the fault of the company because it seems that my house is the place where Rosemary comes to die. I can grow plants like crazy. I have kept a fiddle leaf fig alive for years and I hear that they are difficult to grow. Everyone says Rosemary is one of the easiest plants and that it thrives on neglect. Not at my house! Like I said this is the place where Rosemary comes to die. I have tried all summer long and have probably killed about 10 rosemary plants. I guess if I need it I’ll just buy it in the supermarket even though I wanted it to make my house smell nice. I even bought grow lights for it since the window it’s sitting near doesn’t get direct sunlight. I guess Rosemary is not my friend or maybe I’m its worst enemy.

When I first opened the upright shipping box, there was a green leafed rosemary plant, with scent. The leaves were looking a bit brittle but I figured I could save it. I had my fresh 8" pot of new miracle gro soil ready to transplant this new arrival. The black pot was buldging with black "soil". The stems were huge & trunk was brown & thick, very old looking. It appeared to be at least 5 years old already. Bark on the branches was gray in many places. I took the plant out of its pot to find a horribly root bound old plant. It took me 25 minutes to break up the 5.5" tall ball of tangled roots. It was impossible to do by hand, so I had to gently cut away the roots with very sharp scissors as I apologized to this once beautiful plant. See in my photos the thickness of this rosemary plant. What is shown are the roots after I cut off the rootball.. This is not normal. Whenever us consumers buy a live plant, it is crucial to repot it after a few minutes of unpacking. We must check it over to see if it is still alive & if any damage. No wonder some reviewers said it died shortly after they got it. The roots were already dead on arrival. I managed to cut off what I thought were live, thin stems near the top, & transplanted 6 into my 8" pot of fresh soil. I threw the mother plant into the garbage. Hopefully I'll get at least 1-2 to sprout within 2-3 weeks. I used only the stems that were green at the ends. I put the pot on a shelf below the window to avoid direct sunlight for 3-4 days so as not to burn the fragile tiny leaves. Shame on this seller.

The plant came in a box and was totally protected. It was moist, living and smells wonderful! Love it! It will be well taken care of- no worries. I usually grow lavender outside, but I have decided to try it inside because I can use the calming effects year round.😉 Thank you for the beautiful, healthy plant.❤️😍

I have ordered many Rosemary plants from this site, single pots, double pots and the 4 pots! What’s the difference? Not one thing! They all come packaged supposed to be great looking plants but they all have dead branches at the bottom, I trim them off hoping they will put on fresh green sprigs but they never do. They just keep losing little sprigs and then it starts getting close to the top and it loses leaves or whatever they are on Rosemary plants. I cannot understand what it is about these Rosemary plants because I used to be able to grow them 3-4 ft high and they looked beautiful! I grew them on the porch in 12-15 inch large pots or in the yard up to 4ft. tall…and the reason the ones in the yard died was they just got too old. That was several years ago.. Now, I can’t find any plants that will live long enough to be able to show them off! I have been told when they arrive not to water them, that they don’t like much water…so, what do I do, just what I am told I let them go until they look like every “leaf” will fall off! If that is what the little green things are! I have even cut limbs off my large plants when I had them and rooted them and made other plants and gave them away..Well, I don’t know anymore. I keep buying these plants because I love them! Even though they keep dying and I can’t keep them growing very long anymore…Maybe, just maybe you growers are using some different potting soil or fertilizer??

If you are short on time, and can't go to the nursery, this plant delivery services hit it out of the ball park with care of plant and packing the plant. The rosemary plant had the best care, and wonderful fresh sent of rosemary the way it should. Quality well grown plant arrived, packed the way I would ship a live plant. If you can’t pick your plants I highly recommend their care in shipping and quality plants.

I opened the package to find a once very healthy rosemary plant crammed into a small box, wrapped in weird tape, struggling to stay alive. Packaging was UNBELIEVABLY HORRIBLE!I had to rescue this poor thing! I got all the odd tape around it and got it into the kitchen sink for a good, long drink! It's very damaged, but it's not thirsty now! I put it out on my back patio, surrounded by all of its friends, basil, cilantro and strawberry plants! Tomorrow am I'll go outside and prepare a nice place in one of my galvanized deep buckets where it can enjoy the sunshine and grow for a long time! I had one that I'd had in a tub just like this for many years. I had the grand idea to move it to one of my flowerbeds a few years back. I found out the hard way that rosemary plants do NOT LIKEto be moved at all! It died quickly and I felt so guilty! So don't do that ever! Pick a spot that it can stay for as long as possible!Sorry for long story. Love gardening! And this crumpled plant WILL survive!Update: the injury to this rosemary plant when shipped, proved to be a mortal injury! This morning, I checked on it, and it was 100% dead. I really tried to save it!I'll need a full refund please. I'm wont order young herb plants online ever again!

When I received the plant it looked liked it was just thrown together, only lasted a little over a month, I don't think I will buy from them again. Maybe I should have replanted it, but the pot was a good size , took care of it the best I could,but couldn't believe it just kind of died.
