Excellent
Preserved eucalyptus stems arrived in perfect condition - they look and smell beautiful. Worth the price.
Mega in every way.
My giant new houseplant arrived looking absolutely mega! Really handy lil vids on their website to help me keep her that way. Definitely will be filling my house full of Stem-goodies.

These are some of the best plants I have ever ordered, arrived safely, in great, healthy condition. So reasonably priced too.
A great addition to my indoor jungle.
Quick delivery and my coconut palm arrived securely packaged and in pristine condition. A great addition to my ever-growing living room jungle.
Recommended!
Quick delivery, good prices and quality plants! Will definitely order again

I absolutely love my new plants !!
Quick delivery, very clean, no boxes or cardboard to deal with afterwards. Thoughtful follow up emails with tips on how to look after your new friends :)
They bring life to my new flat and I couldn’t be happier with the service
5 stars
I am thrilled with my order - plants are stunning and quick and easy delivery, good prices. Will definitely order from The Stem again soon.
Would NOT Recommend
Would NOT Recommend. I read some of the reviews and I must say that I’m shocked about the good ones. Have I been the unlucky one? I ordered 2 plants, one of them is literally dry and dead, leaves look like they’ve been burned, the pot is cracked. The other one should have had 100 cm and it has 90 if I’m calculating the stick that’s holding the plant. From Friday, I sent emails after emails and no one bothered to respond. Very very dissapointed! I will post videos and photos to convince yourselves that this company is not trustable! Thank you. I should have ordered from Oxy Plants but thought to give these guys a chance. Now, they wouldn’t respond to my request for receiving my refund and returning their plants back. Cheap Service! Better pay more with Oxy and receive a fantastic service. What a shame!

Amazing!!
I had a great experience with my recent purchase with The Stem. I spoke to Maddie quite a bit with a few of my concerns and she was always so helpful and responsive - I really really appreciated that! Also, not to forget - loved the plant as well. Coming back for more real soon :)
Good service with prices that reflect quality
The Sanseiveira was amazing and exceeded my expectation. All the leaves were healthy, well grouped together and vertical. I have never seen such a plant on any shop
The Orchid, its leaves and roots were very good but for that price I was expecting three spikes/stakes as was published on your website. Photos will be updated on the website to reflect that.
Overall, extremely good service with prices that reflect quality!
Wonderful service
Wonderful service. The plants are beautiful and healthy.
Love it.
Great service, speedy arrival, great plant
The plant I ordered is lovingly called Mother-in-law's tongue. It is a beautiful tall, sharp leafed plant which arrived in great condition with the two planters I had ordered in a dusky pink colour. The plant is now gracing my guest bedroom, looking very stylish 😎
Great service, speedy arrival, great plant.
Arrived quickly and perfect…
Arrived quickly and in perfect condition, thank you
An updated review
This was a 5* review as previous interactions had been good and it led me to invest into The Stem via Crowdcube. Since then they have not had any communication with investors and not sent the investors the promised perks/rewards from their sizeable investment.

epic and good
A great online find
Beautiful packaged plant which are good quality. Would highly recommend The stem to others and will be using them again
Great plant and service
We were very pleased with the plant we ordered. It came well packaged and in good health. The person who received as a gift was very pleased with it.
Delivery was prompt and we were well informed about its progress.
I would have no reservation ordering again.
Excellent quality and service
It’s the 4th time that I order or get plants from the stem as gifts. They’ve always been super healthy and gorgeous. When I mistakenly bought the wrong size pot, it was replaced in no time and no hassles. Great friendly and efficient service.
