Okay, so I’ve been wanting to add some serious green to my place for a while now. I’m talking big, leafy, statement plants. But honestly, going to a physical store and trying to wrestle a giant ficus into my tiny car? No thanks. So, I decided to try ordering plants online – big ones!
The Hunt Begins
First, I spent some time just browsing. I needed to figure out what kind of vibe I was going for. Jungle-y? Minimalist? Desert-chic? It’s a whole thing, you know? I looked at a bunch of different online plant shops, just kind of getting a feel for what was out there and what the prices were like.
Narrowing it Down
I decided I wanted something tall and relatively easy to care for (because, let’s be real, I’m not exactly known for my green thumb). I ended up focusing on a few options:
- A big, beautiful Bird of Paradise.
- A classic Fiddle Leaf Fig (though I was a little scared of those – they seem dramatic).
- A sturdy Monstera Deliciosa.
Making the Choice
After, like, way too much deliberation (seriously, I spent hours!), I went with the Monstera. It just seemed like the perfect mix of impressive size and (hopefully) manageable care. I found a site that had good reviews and seemed legit. I double-checked their shipping policies and return options – just in case.
The Waiting Game
Then came the waiting. It felt like forever! I kept refreshing the tracking page, like a crazy person. I was a little nervous about how a big plant would handle being shipped across the country, you know? What if it arrived all sad and droopy?
Arrival and Unboxing!
Finally, the day arrived! The box was HUGE. I carefully opened it up, and honestly, I was so impressed. The plant was packed really well, with lots of padding and support. It looked surprisingly healthy, just a little thirsty.
Settling In
I immediately gave it a good watering and found the perfect spot for it in my living room. It instantly made the whole space feel so much more alive and vibrant. It’s been a few weeks now, and it’s doing great! I’m even starting to see some new growth.
Overall, I’m super happy with my online big plant purchase. It was way easier than I expected, and I’m totally in love with my new Monstera. If you’re thinking about getting a large plant, I say go for it! Just do your research, read the reviews, and be prepared to be amazed.
