# So I took a chance and ordered my plant online from Succulent Box. It…

_Gepostet von SadeB am 2024-04-05_

So I took a chance and ordered my plant online from Succulent Box. It arrived today and I must say I’m kinda disappointed especially since I was initially skeptical about ordering a plant online. I had to try fixing it over since everything spilled all over. Last pic is me trying to save it. I’m hoping it does better and lives.  
I named her Eliza. She’s a Turtle Vine (Pink Lady)

i got a few plants from them at the beginning of this year and while the shipping definitely leaves something to be desired, all of mine (total of 6) have been doing great. i’m sure she’ll be fine :)

#### SadeB antwortete am 2024-04-06

I really think it could’ve been packaged better to prevent the mess but the plant itself was okay so hopefully she lives!

#### max antwortete am 2024-04-06

absolutely! every time i open one it’s dirt allllll over

#### SadeB antwortete am 2024-04-06

That is crazy! I don’t think I’ll order from them again.

### S.R kommentierte am 2024-04-06

She sure did clean up nicely! That’s disappointing about how it arrived though. I’ve yet to order a plant online simply because I’m sceptical about shipping. I hope your beauty thrives!

#### SadeB antwortete am 2024-04-06

I was too. I’ll try somewhere else next time. I just moved so I’m not too familiar with nurseries nearby so I tried online for the first time.

I hope you let them know how terrible their packaging of plants is. It is possible to send plants with no damage whatsoever. I do it all the time. But it seems most people don’t care. That cute little plant did not need to arrive like that. But tradescantia are very resilient. You can cut them down to the dirt and they just come back prettier.

Oh I definitely did! WITH pictures too. This was ridiculous
