Review: So big and beautiful 😍 - I'm not exactly sure what I was expecting but it wasn't this. I was so impressed when I opened the package and saw how big this plant was. As you can see from the pictures, it is so full, healthy and beautiful and such a great quality plant. I've had it for a few weeks and some of the leaves have died off but we have new ones coming in already. I am so incredibly happy with it and I definitely recommend purchasing from here if you are looking for a monstera deliciosa.
Review: BEST PLANT PURCHASE EVER!! - Let me start by saying this was the first plant I have ever ordered online. I have looked everywhere locally for the Monstera deliciosa, the plant that was #1 on my "wishlist" of houseplants. I was cautioned by many to NOT ORDER a live plant in the middle of winter (I live in NW Wisconsin, temps average in the low teens down to 0) but I just couldn't wait 'til spring to have one of these beauties, and finally adding a Monstera deliciosa was a HUGE DEAL to me so I put in many hours of research online, and finally decided to order an 18-20" in a 6" growers pot Monstera from American Plant Exchange. I was SO NERVOUS, thinking "It's been below freezing temps a couple of days and UPS probably doesn't care about keeping my plant from freezing, its probably being tossed about or handled roughly with all the other packages". The day of delivery, the driver was walking towards my house holding the box UPSIDE DOWN, when I could see from my window the arrows on the box stating clearly "Please keep this way up", so I was expecting to open a box of broken stems amidst a pile of dirt everywhere. I was scared to even open it! But let me tell you, I burst into tears when I did because it was BEAUTIFUL and packaged so well it was completely intact except for a tiny bit of soil in the bottom! I thought "This is too good to be true!" I took the plant out and the pot of soil it was in was very, very cold (not the growers fault) so I placed him (the plant) on my counter, under the indirect light of a skylight in my kitchen and waited for the inevitable collapse from being frozen. WHICH NEVER HAPPENED! So the next day I gave him water, then watched and waited. I've had him a week now, in the same spot, acclimating and he's already put out 2 new leaves and a 3rd opened up that was beginning to unfurl! I couldn't ask for a more GORGEOUS plant. I'm already trying to decide my next purchase from them. THANK YOU so much, American Plant Exchange, for fulfilling my dream of owning a Monstera deliciosa!! I am so 3excited to watch him grow!!! **Oh! Btw, its advertised as being 18" - 20", and mine measured 43" upon arrival!

### ⭐ DISAPPOINTED!!!
*by A***T on July 10, 2025*

⭐☆☆☆☆ Disappointed – Not Worth the $45 I was so excited to receive my Monstera from Plant Exchange, but the condition it arrived in was extremely disappointing. For $45, I expected a healthy, vibrant plant. Instead, I received one with multiple yellow and brown spotted leaves, torn edges, drooping stems, and even a live centipede in the soil. It looked stressed, rootbound, and in no shape to be sold at full price. I’ve been working hard to save the plant — repotted it, cleaned the leaves, supported the stems — but this is not what anyone should have to do immediately after buying a “healthy” plant. While I’m doing my best to help it recover, this is not what I paid for. Very let down.
