I had a plant come on the absolute coldest day in December (below zero) and despite my getting to the package within an hour and the cold-safe packaging, the plant was too frozen to save. The Sill cu... See more

Pot was delivered before plant

You can better coordinate the delivery of the actual plant and the pot. I haven’t seen the items since it was a gift, but it was embarrassing for the recipient to receive an empty pot first.

Great buying experience! Plants are beautiful & healthy!

Great buying experience! Plants arrived healthy and well-packed. There was also a wonderful selection on the site. Based on the included care cards, my beautiful plants have been THRIVING in my care (and I am by no means a plant expert). Super happy with my experience and will DEFINITELY buy from The Sill again.

Delivery was on time

Delivery was on time. The only problem is that the tree is losing quite a few leaves. It was a gift for my granddaughter. She wrote to you and sent a picture of the tree. She was told that it looked healthy, but it is still losing leaves.

Disappointed

Plants look fine but two of my plants were delivered without the ceramic pot that I chose to go with the plant and paid for.
My cactus was delivered completely tipped over and unrooted from the soil. Not to mention I paid $346 for 4 plants

Would definitely definitely recommend!

I ordered the spiral cactus and this was a gift for my husband’s birthday. It arrived in the most careful and easy to open packaging. He absolutely loves his gift and we will definitely be ordering againin the future.

Love the sill

Love the sill! Wish there was a way to request discreet packaging. I’ve been forbidden from buying any more plants 😂

Beautiful and Healthy

The plants arrived in a timely manner. They were well packed, hydrated, and the leaves were beautiful and healthy. Both plants have new growth. Very happy with the order.
