Oleander Petite Pink 40 Live Plants Nerium Compact Dwarf Evergreen Shrub

Looking at the false advertising picture of what a customer would expect to receive is ridiculous! I was shipped and received a very small completely sealed shipping box, only to open and find 3 little seedling oleanders that looked practically dead. Not good. I immediately asked for a refund for a damaged product received. However I really felt having planted oleanders before, but they were already very small but live vibrant plants, I purchased from the Walmart garden shop. Didn't have any problem doing very well after I planted them in the ground. So since I felt sorry for the young seedlings, I decided to immediately transfer them from the 1 inch containers they came in. To 3 4 inch planter containers. I'm happy to say that 2 have fully recovered and on their way. But there's the one that looked the worst thats still barely hanging in there. Although I am very dissatisfied with this companies way of shipping protocol, and will not recommend anyone order plants from them. I'm just glad I was able to save 2, and maybe all 3 if that 1 survives.

Several plant dead upon arrival .

I ordered these and some red oleander from another seller, hoping to plant masses of them in the landscape. I'm no longer sure that's going to work, after receiving these. They don't look like the photo. Mine are long and spindly, and already yellowed, as if grown from seeds instead of cuttings, and not allowed enough light. Two arrived entirely dead, out of thirty. I fear they won't be the only casualties. Shipping box was crushed on arrival, but that was because it was not sturdy, and not filled. Instead, the packer used foam adhesive (seriously) to stick the tray to the bottom of the box. It had stapled strips of cardboard across the cells to keep the dirt in. That suggests to me that all their plants are spindly, and won't look anything like the healthy ones pictured in the listing. You couldn't do that with cardboard strips to the healthy plants they showed. If that weren't bad enough, they were grown in little cells of landscape fabric. Big no-no. Roots were protruding through the cells, and the fabric couldn't be removed without ripping out all those outside roots. But if you don't remove it, the bigger stabilizing roots won't be able to branch out and become established. I wanted to cry as I removed all that plastic horrible junk, and all those roots came with it… So, I don't know if these will survive or not. They're potted first because there's no way these would survive directly planted, with such a tiny root ball and all the root loss and trauma from removing the completely unnecessary, harmful landscape fabric wrap. (They came in a 1 inch cube 30-block planting tray—it didn't need any liners.) Would I buy again? Absolutely not. Just FYI, I bought red ones from another seller for similar pricing, from Walmart.com, and… those were as pictured, healthy cutting plants, treated properly, not wrapped in root-killing sleeves. Photos included to show the difference. First two pics—this terrible, spindly order. Third pic—red oleander from another company, ordered at same time. (All shown repotted already to help them survive.)
