Even though the cardboard box it arrived in was crushed, the Amazon driver hurled it on my porch, and it was 18 degrees out, this little ponytail plant persevered! It looks great - it’s healthy and it’s a generous size. The included white pot is plastic, not ceramic, but you can barely tell. I’m so enamored of my ponytail plant that I’ve been waking up every morning and wishing it good morning like it’s a pet! Highly recommend this plant for cuteness factor alone! Worth every penny.

Costa Farms NEVER disappoints me. I have ordered several different plants and they ALL have been excellent. I have purchased costa farms plants at different stores they are always nice and in excellent shape. I would not hesitate to purchase or continuing to purchase. If I am looking for a certain plant I always check them first. My pony tail could not be better if I picked it out my self. It is a beautiful, perfect plant. If you have a plant you are looking dor ALWAYS check COSTA FARMS FIRST!!! THANK YOU COSTA FARMS!!! Read more
I’m still stunned. I can’t believe how beautiful this plant is and that it came in the mail. I lost my first beaucarnia that I had for over 30 years, when I moved. Since it’s a lifetime commitment I hesitated to get another one. I’m very glad that I did. I feel like I was sent a very special new friend. The ponytail palm came expertly packed and arrived safely despite winter temperatures. It came in a decorative pot, which really makes the price worth it. These plants get quite large, so be prepared. Unlike my last one, this one has been topped and has three separate branches so I imagine it’s going to grow quite differently. I recommend the seller and this beaucarnia. Read more
This palm arrived in pretty bad shape. The box was pretty flimsy. It had been crushed to the point of being opened. Someone along the way taped it back together, but there were leaves sticking out from the sides and top and caught in the tape. It looks like it would have been a beautiful plant had it not been that most of the leaves were broken off or crushed. I have bought many plants from Costa Farms and they have aways, in the past, arrived in good shape. I’m so disappointed. This plant should have been double boxed at the very minimum. I’m not going to return it because it has been through enough stress already. I will see if I can save it with a lot of TLC and time, but I don’t know, I’m not a miracle worker. :-( 12/22/25 UPDATE: There was no saving it. It was rotten at the trunk. All of the leaves fell off and when I took it out of the pot the bottom of the trunk was stinky, fishy smelling mush. I’m going to have to return this pile of stink to get my money back. Costa Farms will only help you if you bought it directly from them. Guess I’m done with them. What a pain in my tookass!! Read more
The plant arrived in a sturdy box and was packaged as well as possible for a live plant. The plant arrived healthy, vibrant, and undamaged. It exceeded my expectations in both quality and size, especially considering the price. Overall, an excellent value and a great purchase. Read more
Don’t think twice about purchasing this beautiful plant! It arrived in perfect condition and the pot that comes with it is a very nice addition. Looks exactly like the picture! I’m very happy with this purchase! Read more
This Bonsai tree arrived very well packed, and the soil was moist. Once shipped, it went UPS 2-day which was reassuring. I was waffling between three and four stars for the below reasons. I needed a very specific variety of Bonsai (Ficus Ginseng) for a gift and couldn’t find a healthy one in any of my local nurseries or stores. I didn’t realize until after ordering that it was the grower’s choice on which variety I would be receiving, and the purchase was non-returnable. I reached out to Customer service who were amazing and provided me the farm’s customer service number. The farm was too busy to take my call, and I was forced to leave a message. The frustrating part was they finally called me back at 5:50 AM on the day the tree was being delivered! (Grrr) At this point, if it was the wrong species I was stuck with a plant I didn’t want. Also, at 5:50 AM there was NO WAY I was answering the phone… Another three star reason – the size. The listing states a 1-year-old 10” tree. I received something much smaller. (See photos) I landed on 4-stars for these reasons though. 1.) The tree is the species I requested in my phone voicemail. Is it because they got my message and specifically shipped it? I’ll never know but I’m so glad it worked out! 2.) This little tree is extremely healthy! The leaves are all shiny and a dark green. 3.) They included a cute white pot with a drain hole that will fit this little tree for at least the next year or so. 4.) It came with a lot of information for the amateur grower Read more
First of all, I am highly impressed with how well this plant was packaged. This was the first plant I ever ordered online and i certainly had my doubts, however this ponytail palm arrived perfectly healthy and looks great straight out of the pot. It’s the perfect size and looks adorable in my home. The real win is how low maintenance it is. It does well indoors and doesn’t need frequent watering, which makes it ideal if you love plants but sometimes forget they exist. Somehow, it still looks great. Highly recommend for busy homes or anyone with a less-than-stellar plant track record. Thank you Costa Farms! Read more
