Yesterday morning, I got an email from Patch saying that my order is on the way and will be delivered on Saturday, 27th of March! I didn’t expect the plants to come in this week because when I checked the order status a few days ago, the estimated delivery date changed from 6-8 days to 14-18 days (I ordered the plants last Saturday, 10th of March). So I gave up expecting it to be delivered soon. Anyway, It was too good to be true. I got an another email from Patch in the afternoon saying that there’s some problem at their packing facility in the Netherlands so they temporarily close the facility for a few days which meant there will be a delay in delivering. They said they couldn’t be certain how long the delay will be. I was so disappointed.
On Saturday morning, I was woken up by a door bell. Somehow it was Patch! So I was waiting for the delivery man to go because they do non-contact delivery. I wanted to open the door so quick but I waited. I didn’t want to make an awkward situation but he kept ringing the door bell so I opened the door, said hi and I got my plants!
Here are the additions to my family
I didn’t expect it to be this small. It was surprisingly small and cute. I changed the pot to a slightly bigger one so it can grow well.
This is Zanzibar Gem (Zz plant). I bought the 60-70 cm one. It’s the tallest plant in my house XD
This is Phlebodium Aureum. I’m in love with this plant. It’s beautiful.
This is Calathea Orbifolia (Prayer Plant). It’s unique and beautiful plant but I’m a bit disappointed with the quality of the plant. It’s my forth order form Patch and the plants I received today had the worst quality out of all previous orders. Phlebodium aureum and Calathea Orbifolia have brown-ish leaves and there are weird marks on leaves as you can see from the picture. Also It looks vulnerable.
Anyway, I will study these plants to grow them well. I don’t want to be a pro plant killer this time.
