Good purchase.
The plants were of course not in perfect condition, but the choices of plants received were mostly good. Most of the leaves were ok too, and the plants from GrowTropicals are always beautifully and carefully packaged.

Wow!!!
Review by Sarah on 14 Feb 2025 review stating Wow!!!
Received the Special Rare Rescue box and thought I'd leave it a couple of months to see how the plants got on before I reviewed. The box comprised of an Anthurium Waroqueanum x Magnificum, Alocasia Green Unicorn and Anthurium Microspadix. Was a little concerned about the Microspadix as it had a couple of half cut leaves but a new one on the way. The new leaf is growing well and it's just about to produce another! After a couple of months, they are all doing brilliantly. The Waro is amazing! If you're half considering getting one of these boxes go for it!

Product Information

In our mission to reduce waste and create a sustainable business model in an industry traditionally filled with waste, we have partnered with Sarah Gerrard Jones, a.k.a @theplantrescuer to offer Plant Rescue Boxes.

As online sales of plants have grown, so do the ever-increasingly large number of plants that get discarded when they no longer look 'perfect'. Often plants that are perfectly healthy but cosmetically damaged or have some past damage from pests or cold issues on shipping, have to be removed from sale. As Sarah puts it 'Most of us agree that throwing away vegetables because they’re wonky shouldn’t be an acceptable practice, and yet there are houseplants being discarded on a massive scale for the same reason. 

So what is a Plant Rescue Box?

We'll be offering two main types, a rescue box, and an imperfect plant box

With our rescue boxes, you can give plants that would be destined for the bin a second chance. Inside each box will be plants that have some form of cosmetic damage or issues which means we can't sell them normally. It may be cut leaves, cut tops, shipping damage, past fungal issues, etc. These plants tend to be at around 70% discount on their retail price.

With our imperfect boxes, we fill these with plants that have some cosmetic damage on their journey to us. These are generally in better condition than the rescue box but not in the condition we would sell them at full price. These are normally 35-50% discounted on retail price.

In both boxes, the plants are discounted to reflect their condition and are non-refundable, but with proper care, many will thrive. We do guarantee that any damage from pests or fungal/cold issues will be treated, so you will have no issue whatsoever with bringing something unwanted into your home. 

What's Included?

Inside the box, you'll receive plants worth at least 1.8-2x the box value (for imperfect) and 2.5-3x value (for Rescue Box). That might be made up of 1 or 2 larger plants or a number of smaller plants.

The contents are a mystery but we can confirm there will be some exciting inclusions.

Examples (but the list is nowhere near exhaustive) of some of the plants you might find:

Houseplant Box: Alocasia stingray, Begonia escargot, Pilea norfolk, ZZ supernova etc

Rareplant Box: Philodendron Florida Bronze, Philodendron Glad Hands, Alocasia chantrieri, Philodendron gloriosum Dark Form, Philodendron atabapoense, Philodendron lupinum, Philodendron fibraecataphyllum, Monstera sp Ecuador, Anthurium Silver Blush, Philodendron Melanochrysum etc.

Special Rare Plant Edition: Cyrtosperma sp, rarer Philodendron, Monstera species, more unusual Alocasia species, Anthurium species and hybrids, Variegated Homalomena and more. This is the very special box!

Rare Alocasia Edition: Alocasia Reticulata, Alocasia Platinum, Alocasia Heterophylla Corazon, Alocasia Sedenii, Alocasia Kuching Mask

 

Terrarium Edition: Pellionia Pulchra, Pellionia Repens, Ficus Radicans, Nidularium Fireball and more

 

Baby Plant Edition:

 

Philodendron Pink Princess, Philodendron White Princess, Pilea Moon Valley, and more

Not only are the boxes a good way to help reduce waste in the industry, but we'll also make sure they're a good opportunity to add some new interesting species to your collection.

Care Instructions

Each plant requires slightly different care, but it's best to not over-care for them. Ideally keep each plant slightly moist, in bright indirect light, if you have a place with more humidity, like a bright bathroom, a kitchen, or a space with a humidifier, this will be best to ensure you give the plant the best possible chance to thrive. Please don't cut the plant or repot for at least a week after arriving to minimise stress.

Please note: Due to their nature, these boxes are not refundable. We may not always have these in stock and will periodically add stock as and when we have enough plants to fill boxes.
