“Sending everyone at Plantz a HUGE thank you for the absolutely beautiful new addition to our reception area! The fiddle leaf fig is even more beautiful in person than I expected. The video demonstrating how to unpack the plant was extremely helpful and made the transition so much smoother.

All of our patients have asked about our new “artificial” tree and are simply amazed that it is “real and spectacular”!

So incredibly grateful for your patience, knowledge, and assistance with this purchase.”  – Valerie Philadelphia PA

“The Fiddle Leaf Fig is the best plant for frogs. If you have a love of plants and or frogs, I recommend Plantz. I had the best experience buying a plant. Not only was their service impressive, but their knowledge and informative videos helped so much. I highly recommend getting a plant from Plantz!” – Erin Cummiskey

How precious seeing not only the people that purchase our plants fall in love with them, but also all of our pets and wildlife! Thank you for sharing this heartwarming picture of your frogs enjoying your plant with us, day made.

Here is a photo from a customer we had from a year ago! She was so nervous about caring for her plant, and she has done such a spectacular job. So proud of our Plantz family, and always know we are here every step of the way to aid you in your plant care needs and questions. There is a plant for every single person, from low maintenance, to more complex. – Chandra Tso from San Jose, CA

 

They may be separated by 800 miles, but Stephanie and Shannel are still good friends and now share a love of something else: plants.

Stephanie, a Chicago resident, saw her friend Shannel’s photo on PLANTZ – see the photo spread here – and decided to send in a photo of her Ficus lyrata, aka Fiddle Leaf Fig.

“Shannel (who lives in Stamford, CT) is a good friend of mine and I sent Sue (PLANTZ’s online plant expert) a photo as a little joke to “compete” with Shannel,” Stephanie said. “(Shannel) recently became very interested in plants and quickly turned into a wonderful plant mom who has offered me many tips and suggestions! I appreciate her (and Sue) very much.”

Stephanie recently added the Fiddle Leaf Fig to her new office. “The plant is fantastic and all of my colleagues keep commenting on how much it brightens up and adds to our space. We just moved in a couple of months ago so it was pretty barebones, but the plant is making it feel more like home! We’re so happy with it.”

A new Ficus lyrata, aka Fiddle Leaf Fig, with all the trimmings recently arrived at the home of the winner of our contest to mark the sale of our 1,000th Fiddle Leaf Fig.

Our winner, Roslyn, loves the beauty and benefits of the Fiddle Leaf Fig.

“I picked a Fiddle Fig Leaf because of its aesthetic quality and since they have broad leaves, I think it will be good to purify the air in my apartment,” she says.
She has already felt the difference.

“The air in the room is so much fresher. I also feel the room is more complete and alive.”
Roslyn got a 12-inch Ficus lyrata, soil sleuth, Dufmod basket and moss as the 1,000th customer to buy a Fiddle Leaf Fig from PLANTZ.com.

Breaking the millennial barrier on Fiddle Leaf Fig sales comes on the heels of Plantz.com shipping to all 48 lower states (and Alaska too) – a milestone we passed earlier this year.

The Fiddle Lea Fig, our top seller, has grown in popularity over the last decade, with the majestic plant a staple of home and garden magazine shoots and movies.

“It used to be that the Fiddle Leaf Figs were only available for industry insiders and designers,” says Steve Stanford, PLANTZ.com president. “When we figured out how to box them and ship them nationwide, it opened the door for plant lovers everywhere to get one. Hitting this milestone is exciting. The best part is getting customers’ reaction when they open a box and big, healthy Ficus pops out and into their homes. It’s really, really gratifying.”

The Fiddle Leaf Fig is available in three sizes in varying heights and two styles; standard tree form and bush. A standard tree is more popular while a bush will have leaves all the way to the base. The larger size (in a 14-inch grow pot) is available in tree and bush form, while the midsize (in a 12-inch grow pot) is only available as a tree and the smallest (in a 10-inch grow pot) is available as a bush.

What better way to show off a home than adding a little green?

Veteran interior designer Katja Lauterbach certainly thought so when she took on the job of decorating a home for Atlanta Magazine’s Home Modern Style Showhome tour. Needing a few quality plants for the prestigious tour, Katja turned to PLANTZ.

Katja’s design featured two Janet Craig Carmens, two ZZ plants and a Giganta Palm, all in 10-inch grow pots. The home tour was part of the Modern Atlanta Design Festival in June which showcases the latest in modern design in Atlanta.

The designer had no qualms about picking PLANTZ for the Showhome tour, which drew thousands of visitors. She’s had a Monstera from PLANTZ in her home for almost a year. “It came in perfect condition. I then ordered a Fiddle Leaf Fig for a client for a project and had the same (great) experience.”

Katja favors greenery in her projects “so that’s why I went to PLANTZ for help with Modern Style Showhome.”

Her design drew an overwhelmingly positive response from the more than 1,200 people who toured the home she was chosen to design, one of several on the tour. “(The public) loved it. They loved that we had plants in our design with some people even asking if the plants were real.”

Plants will continue to play a role in her future designs says the European native. Not only do they add life “but they go with every design,” Katja says.

You can catch Katja’s design in the fall issue of Atlanta Magazine which is available online here.

You can also visit Katja’s website here.

Our new Plantz.com models couldn’t be happier with their new Giganta Plant which the girls crowned “Gigantasaurus.”

“The girls love it,” says their mom, Tiffany, who emphasized the valuable help she has received from our online staff. “I was very happy with the process. It came nicely packaged and in a timely way. Anytime I had a question, I just talked to Sue online and she got right back to me.”

For those concerned the plant will only do well in sun-drenched climates, no worries, Tiffany says. “It is thriving here,” said the Virginia resident. “It just elevates my room.”

This little monster is a close relative of the Massangeana Cane (infamously known as the ‘Corn Plant’) but the Giganta is all foliage, unlike the its cousin.

The Giganta Plant’s genes also allow it to do well in low-light and maintain its characteristic yellow variegation. It’s highly rated for removing air-born toxins and pumping out oxygen.

If you are looking for a plant with stunning color that will brighten up any room and needs very little attention, this may be there plant for you. A few clicks here and it will be on its way

Andrea and her pup Haley just got a new Fiddle Leaf Fig from PLANTZ!

“Our BEAUTIFUL fiddle fig arrived last week and I am so pleased. Not only was the price great, it was shipped and protected so beautifully! The directions you have were so fool proof, I am very grateful! We have the perfect spot for her in our house and I wanted to send you a pic of her with one of our pups.”

Thanks for the photo and for the kind words, Andrea!

After a shipping mishap with FedEx damaged his original plant, a happy customer in Arlington, Virginia, just received his replacement Kentia Palm from us and is already feeling ready to unwind!

He commented on his new palm by saying “All I need now is a tropical drink and I’m in paradise.”

We’re so glad to know that you got your palm and that it’s already made your home feel a little more like paradise! And apparently Archie, pictured below, is already loving his new tree too. Thanks for the kind review!
