My large plant is brilliant, arrived in great condition and easy to see the quality and care it had been given. It’s already growing more leaves. Very good customer service too. Would recommend

Healthy plants delivered carefully.

We purchased a variegated ficus from Prickle after our old one was killed by spider-mites after we’d loved it for 25 years. We decided on a 1 metre tall specimen to grow on ourselves. There were plenty of size options at various prices. The reason we tried out this mail order service was that none of our local garden centres had them in stock. We were a little concerned about the delivery as we often receive damaged items from other vendors and ficus plants do not like being moved. Honestly we felt it was a gamble but we were prepared to complain if our plant wasn’t of good quality. However, we needn’t have been worried, the courier service Prickle use are extremely careful and our plant was very securely packaged with clear markings to keep it upright. The delivery driver actually waited for us to answer the door and carried the plant into the hallway for me (No knock-a-door run here!) There were plenty of plant specific care instructions on an enclosed leaflet, which also informed us that the ficus may shed some leaves after transportation. Ours only dropped a half dozen or so leaves and is now flourishing in our conservatory.
The website was easy to navigate with clear ordering procedures and there were lots of photographs of every plant we looked at.

I love Prickle Plants!

I love Prickle Plants. I have 4 now in my sitting room and 1 on my decking. The plants have all been thriving on delivery and very reasonably priced. I won't buy plants from anywhere else now.

One plant very lopsided

Bought two large plants and a pot. One plant (zz) came out of the packaging very leant over and with a couple of broken stems. Think I might have to repot in order to straighten it out. Other large plant (yukka) and pot came very well packaged and without issue.
Update - Emailed the company as advised a week ago - still not heard back from them. Lop-sided plant has lost more branches and a number of those remaining are turning yellow. Pretty dissapointed.
2nd update - Have sent two direct emails and one using the form on the website. No response. The plant is 80% dead.

Hi Martin,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. I’m really sorry to hear that your ZZ plant arrived leaning over with a couple of broken stems, that’s understandably disappointing, especially when your Yucca and pot arrived so well packaged and in perfect condition. ZZ plants are usually very sturdy, so it’s a shame to hear that this one didn’t arrive as it should.

We’ve checked our system and haven’t been able to find any correspondence regarding this issue. If the plant has shifted in transit or sustained damage, we’d really like to take a closer look so we can help. Please contact us directly at contact@prickleplants.co.uk with a few images of the plant as it arrived. Our team can then assess the condition and advise whether a replacement, refund, or care guidance would be the best way forward.

We want to make sure you’re completely happy with your order, so please do get in touch and we’ll be more than happy to assist.

Kind regards,
Emily

They are claiming I have received it but are getting mixed up with a previous order I made 4 weeks beforehand. My order PRI#42791 is yet to be seen! And still no news from their customer service...

Hi Mr Smith,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. I’m really sorry to hear how disappointed you’ve been, receiving plants in poor condition and feeling unable to get support is understandably frustrating, and it’s never the experience we want for our customers.

We have been in touch regarding your order and have offered a replacement or a refund multiple times so that you could choose whichever option suited you best. Our most recent response was sent on the 18th of May, so it looks as though our emails may not be reaching your inbox. Please do check your spam or junk folder, as messages can occasionally filter there.

If you still need assistance or would like to go ahead with one of the options offered, please email our team at contact@prickleplants.co.uk and we’ll be more than happy to get this resolved for you.

Kind regards,
Emily

Delivery speedy and efficient

Delivery speedy and efficient. Would have liked guidance on the size of the pot needed for my dracaena. I ordered the largest pot and it isn't big enough. Not blaming them at all, more my fault for not paying enough attention. Plants arrived healthy and look good

Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. I’m really sorry to hear that the plant was smaller than you expected and didn’t give the hanging effect you were hoping for, that’s understandably disappointing.

We haven’t received any correspondence regarding an issue with this order, so please do get in touch so we can take a closer look and help. The listing does include the size information for each plant to help set expectations before ordering, but I completely understand how the overall look can still feel different once received.

If you’re able to contact us at contact@prickleplants.co.uk, our team will be more than happy to assist.

Kind regards,
Emily
