Plant came packaged meticulously! No wilted leaves and the soil was still moist. I replanted the same day as received and it’s growing like crazy. The photos are only 1 day apart in growing!!! Will definitely buy from again!

I know next to nothingvabout this plant. It is growing and I am removing leaves for consumption. Tastes like regular spinach. I am not aware of its nutritional value.

I wasn’t too sure about ordering a plant online, but I’ve now got about 8 plants from this one.

Poor overall experience
Francine Williams –
The plant came well secured and looking very much alive. It also came with a pack of fertilizer. It is growing straight up. Took of the top with the hopes that it would grown branches but it just grew more leaves and it growing like a healthy pole. No branches. Have not eaten any of the leaves for fear that the plant would die. Does this plant send out branches or does it just grow like a one stem vine?

Plant arrived strong and healthy. About 1′ high. Planted it in a small pot until the cold weather was gone. Planted it outside in a very large pot. It grew… and grew… was still putting out new leaves when our freeze hit last month (North FL). I expected to lose it this winter but understood it would grow back. I should have cut it back before the three nights of 20 degrees. I covered it but the cover blew off. It turned black. I’ve now cut it back. Am wondering if it will still recover. If it does not, I will purchase again from this buyer. And do better next year. I have a large planter set aside for it now.

I love this Longevity Spinach plant. It arrived extremely healthy and well packaged. It has a pretty brown stem with bright beautiful green leaves with not a bug on it. I planted it to keep indoors year round in a 12′” terracotta pot with lightly premoistened purely organic soil and 2 self watering plant stakes with a colored wine bottle full of water in each plant stake (colored bottle to keep light out of bottle to prevent algae growing in the bottles of water that’s inserted in the plant stakes). It gets a couple hours of window sun and when the sun goes down it gets about 3 hours under a led daylight bulb that’s about 10″s to a foot above it. It’s been about two -three weeks and has new growth. This is my first time using the self watering plant stakes and only watered the soil one time about a week after I planted it and have just been letting the self watering plant stakes do the watering since then and it seams happy with being watered just by the 2 plant stakes so far. I previously had problems with gnats in some other types of plants that I grew from seed and hoping the self watering plant stakes will prevent that from happening again. The listing doesn’t mention if it was grown organically or not and I’m assuming it wasn’t, which bothers me, but I still gave them 5 stars.

It arrived healthy. watered it, waited a few days, and planted it in another pot. It is doing great with new leaves popping up.. Great price, great value.
