I recently wrote a post about plants for people who kill plants, and I mentioned that I had recently purchased a Satin Pothos via mail from the California Tropical Amazon store. I was so pleased with the 6" plant that arrived that I purchased another, a 4" Hoya Pubicalyx. That plant came today and it's in great shape and seems large and healthy and I can't wait to re-pot.

Before purchasing these two plants I had never bought a houseplant via mail. I mean it seemed like a bad idea to be perfectly honest. I've always trekked out to nurseries or boutique stores to find plants I can't find at Home Depot. I'm so pleased with California Tropical that I think this will be my new go-to plant store, and I encourage you to give them a try (fyi this is not a sponsored post, I'm simply a happy customer!).
Also, I have to mention, one of the best parts of receiving these plants via mail, was that almost all of the packaging was bio-degradable, something that's very important to me. Please see the pics below to see how your plant will arrive. The packing peanuts inside the cardboard are made of rice and you can simply soak them with water in the sink and they disappear and wash down the drain. How cool is that?! The other components are just paper and fully compost-able, the only part you need to trash is the plastic-wrap surrounding the pot to keep in the well watered soil.
