Its a beautiful and healthy plant.
Very nice plants. Healthy and well developed. Very excited to watch it grow!
So happy to hear! Thank you for leaving a review, happy planting!
Came as expected and doing great months later.
I purchased 2 of these for my new home so I can eventually stop depending on outside sources for caffeine. Since our yard is in need of some reconfiguring and our big garden isn't fenced yet, I put these in full sun, in (what I thought was) well-drained soil.
I watered them and checked them regularly.
Within a week, they had dried up and died.
I'm not sure what went wrong, but I'm not exactly pleased right now.
Great start. Now the 3year wait for beans begins (the real challenge).
The plant I ordered showed up much faster than the estimated date they gave me, and arrived in excellent condition, both the packaging and the plant itself. Good size for the price and looks healthy.
My first plant didn’t make it unfortunately. Sent them a picture and they almost immediately sent a new one.
That plant is doing great. I am very happy with them and we be a continued customer because of it.
This one seemed strong at first, but never really took off. Growth was slow and then stalled, and sadly, this plant died some time after the refund window had already closed.
The plants look like they weren’t shipped at all very much alive and amazing packaging
Both plants arrived quickly and during November in PA, without any damage! They’re doing great, and the picture I attached is from today - roughly 4-5 days after arriving! I been letting them acclimate under the grow lights on top of my microwave (they were too tall for shelf lol) before I pot them up. I even got some big beautiful 6” x 8” hurricane glasses ($5 dollar tree 😉) to pot them in until they grow out of them. I like to use glass to monitor root growth and watering, until I am familiar with my plants needs. Idk I’m talking out my u kno what lol I just am nervous w any new plant and I’m cheating with these glass hurricanes but I’ll try to update later when these baddies are huge. 💚🪴
I would definitely recommend this seller! Plants came in looking great
Item in perfect condition on arrival. Very happy!
WOW - exceeded my expectations - packaging (shipping box, plant bag, tags), plant care information on separate info sheet and on plant bag), quality of plants (lush green leaves and moist soil- you will never think it traveled across the continent) - absolutely amazing - next level of thoughtful and thorough - perfect as a gift to any one who may be just starting out. I will definitely look for more plants from this company.
The plant is growing steadily. It has a lot of new growth.

Wonderful, healthy plant with lots of growth. It was packaged securely and well labeled so carriers knew to take care. (Pictured behind is a banana plant also ordered)

You ROCK! Received 3 yerba mate plants today and they look great! In good condition, well-watered and I look forward to watching them grow. This is only my 2nd time ordering plants online. My 1st time was a small disaster when I ordered from a nursery near me and the tiny plant I received had withered to almost nothing. I couldn't revive it, and I had zero confidence when ordering plants from Wellspring, especially because we're in opposite corners of the country. I was sooo happy to see green leaves on healthy plants. Your packaging is perfect, keeping the plants upright and with moist soil. A+ from a future repeat customer! :D

My Yerba mate arrived in beautiful condition :) (this pot was not included)
My first package was damaged in shipment. I contacted and explained the issue. They sent me another one and it is PERFECT! Thanks Wellspring Gardens!
