- Hey, everybody.
It is Kim from GetGreenBeWell.com.
I am gonna show you my box of plants
that just came in the mail from Amazon.
Did you know that you can buy house plants on Amazon?
I did not know this until I started looking through
and I found this fabulous pack of plants
that's actually called the O2 for You plant collection
from Costa Farms, and they are all plants
that are great for air filtration in your home.
And they're easy-care house plants too.
So, I wanna show you what they look like.
This box came, the box came late last night,
delivered by Amazon.
Hence, I opened it up so the plants could get some air,
but I didn't film at that time, so that's why it's opened,
but let me show you what they look like.
And I have never had plants delivered in a box before,
so I don't know if this is how they normally look,
if they're packed really well.
So, let me know in the comments below
whether or not this is standard.
But this is a mother-in-law's tongue,
also called a snake plant.
The technical term is Sansevieria.
So, if you can see, they're really, really well wrapped.
You got the plastic around here, the pole,
which I'm assuming keeps the box from caving in.
And then there's a lot of Saran wrap
that is around the tops of the pot
so that the soil doesn't come out.
And then of course
there is the classic covering over the pot
so the soil and water does not come out that way either.
So, they're really well-packed, I think.
But again, I have no reference point,
so I'm not sure if this is common or not.
This is another great plant
that came in the O2 for You collection,
and this is the Neanthe Bella Palm.
I thought it said Neanderthal Palm.
But this is a great air purifier as well.
This would be perfect
in your bedroom or in your living room.
Again, really packed well.
I'll open up one of these in just a minute.
These are coming from a farm
that I know and love and use a lot here in Orlando, Florida.
If I go to a big-box store, such as Home Depot,
and go garden shopping,
all of the plants there are from Costa Farms,
and Costa Farms is located in Florida,
so this is the brand and company
that I'm used to working with
as far as buying plants for my home.
I don't know if that is the same supplier
for stores all across the country,
so let me know in the comments below
if that's something that you can find
all across the country, the Costa Farms,
but I love this company and the quality of the plants,
so I was very happy to order from them on Amazon.
And this is my next one of the O2 for You collection.
This is a peace lily.
The technical name is Spathiphyllum.
I don't know if I'm saying that right.
Spathiphyllum.
Again, this looks really great.
And then the final one
is one of my all-time favorite, all-time favorite,
this is Pothos.
I have a lot of Golden Pothos ones
but this is more the variegated plant,
and they are so easy to take care of.
They require, like, hardly any light, hardly any water.
I never fertilize them, I never repot 'em,
and they are growing like crazy.
And so that is the Pothos.
Now, like I said, I'm going to show you how,
or I'm gonna unwrap it so you can see
exactly how they were wrapped.
First of all, take off the Saran wrap.
Again, that was over the top
to kind of prevent the soil from leaving.
And then they're in this plastic sleeve.
Let me go ahead and take out this bamboo stick.
And shimmy this up.
Again, you don't have to worry about the soil
falling out of the pots while they're being delivered.
I'm actually really impressed
because there's no soil in the box,
it's not wet, there's no mess anywhere.
I mean, they're really, really packaged very well.
And then on this Pothos,
you have the tear tag, which is also important.
I keep these all the time,
either put 'em in a drawer or keep them under the pot,
just because you might forget what type of plant they are
and how I take care of 'em.
And then if you can see,
you've got the bubble wrap on top of the soil.
This is just another way of keeping it protected
and keeping that soil in there
because the soil is what's gonna be the messiest part
of shipping plants.
So, take that off.
That is taped on there so it doesn't move.
And then yeah, this is looking pretty good.
The soil is adequately wet.
It's not saturated, but that definitely
will keep the plant alive for quite a while.
All of the plant's leaves are looking pretty good.
This one's a little torn,
but I mean, that can happen at home.
We just got one little one that's bent,
but considering that this was just shipped via a box,
that is looking pretty good.
So, I would highly recommend
getting this O2 for You collection.
Again, this is on Amazon from Costa Farms.
I am going to let these go into a normal pot,
put them throughout my home,
and then film another video in about three to four weeks
and let you know if they survived, if they're thriving,
how fast they are growing,
and just give you a general update on what they look like.
So we have had the collection of plants for four weeks now
and they are doing really well.
They are thriving a lot.
The snake plant,
I feel that it's kind have gotten a little bit bigger.
These are all in the same original packaging.
I still haven't repotted them
because I wanted to see how they were gonna do.
So, the snake plant is thriving.
The peace lily, we just cut the flower off yesterday
that was on the plant that it was delivered with.
And if you can see inside,
you can see the little flower that is developing,
that little white one,
so, this peace lily is definitely thriving
and still surviving and doing well.
The palm, this one is doing good as well.
I think it might have gotten a little bit bigger.
And then the Pothos, it is definitely expanding out.
It's starting to arch out a little bit.
This one is happy as well and looking really good.
So, for this entire O2 for You collection,
these house plants are really great
and I highly suggest getting them.

Take care, everybody, bye-bye.
