Review about: Bloomscape
Dracena Dorado
POSITIVES: 1. Ordering was easy -- the website is well organized with useful information about the plant accompanied by nice pictures.
2. The time it took to receive the plant wasn't so bad either (about 10 days).
But the negatives outweigh the positives.
NEGATIVES: 1. The plant came infested with fungus gnats. I have a toddler at home so have been very careful to keep my apartment clean and bug free. I live in a new apartment and for the year we've been here have never had any bug problems. I started seeing a couple fly around and thought nothing of it and then when I was watering the plant for the first time about 10 days after it arrived I noticed tiny white crawlies on the soil. And about two weeks after watering the gnats are everywhere. The yellow sticky traps I set up on the soil are covered with gants and they are driving me crazy. I have been at war with gnats all holiday season!
2. The plant came in a wrong pot color. I ordered charcoal but got the white one. It wasn't a huge deal but I was a bit annoyed. When I mentioned it to customer service they said they would send me the right pot so that I could move the plant later on. But then they only sent the saucer which was super annoying. I inquired again and Bloomscape will be sending me the pot again.. hopefully this time they get it right.
3. The plant came with scarred leaves with cuts here and there. While this could have occurred during the 10 day trip via UPS, I suspect not all leaves were damaged solely from the trip.
I got this plant to add some life and green into the apartment. I got more than I bargained for with a colony of gnats. I will never buy from Bloomscape again.
