The plant we received didn’t resemble the picture shown. If I had bought it from the store, I wouldn’t have chosen it because two of its leaves had turned brownish (one fell off the next day after arrival)

Response from United Nursery Plant ProJun 29, 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your Red Congo Philodendron did not match your expectations and arrived with browning leaves.

We understand how disappointing it is when the plant received does not resemble the product photos, especially when it has damaged foliage upon arrival. While some minor leaf damage can occur during shipping and the plant may experience stress as it acclimates to a new environment, we understand that this was not the experience you were hoping for.

Please know that all of our plants are carefully grown, inspected, and required to meet our quality standards before leaving our facility. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and your feedback will be shared with our team as we continue working to improve the quality of our products and the customer experience.

As your order was placed through Home Depot, we recommend contacting them directly regarding a replacement or refund. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at questions@unitednursery.com so we can assist you further. 🌿

Inconsistent Quality
I ordered this philodendron from United Nursery through Home Depot on 5/6 and it arrived beautiful, healthy, and a great full size. I was so impressed I ordered another on 5/31 — same plant, same listing, same price — but it was about a THIRD of the size, sparse, and leaning over in the pot with no support. Such a disappointment. I could have bought a plant this size at my local nursery for $14. I have side-by-side photos and there's no comparison. When you pay for a specific plant, you expect consistency — not a coin flip on quality. I won't be reordering and would caution others that what you receive may look nothing like the photos.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your second Red Congo Philodendron did not meet your expectations.

We understand how disappointing it can be when a repeat purchase differs significantly from a previous order. While natural variations in live plants can occur, we recognize your concerns regarding the size, fullness, and overall presentation of the plant you received.

Please know that all of our plants are carefully grown, inspected, and required to meet our quality standards and size specifications before leaving our facility. Plants are shipped healthy and in good condition; however, once an order leaves our greenhouse, the shipping and delivery process is handled by the carrier. Transit conditions, handling, and time in shipment can sometimes impact the appearance of live plants upon arrival.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your detailed experience and feedback. Your comments will be shared with our team as we continue working to provide the quality and consistency our customers expect.

Thank you again for your feedback. 🌿

        infested with millipedes!
        At first, the plant appeared to be in good condition with only minor damage. However, after a few days without watering, the soil dries out almost completely, we discover the soil is infested with millipedes and a type of small flying bugs! There were so many of them, and some started crawling out of the planter to look for water. We had to repot the entire plant.

          Needs to be double wrapped top to bottom
          My plant arrived frozen leaves. I will return and I already ordered another one. The top leaves that were exposed were limp and frozen. About a month or so ago I ordered one and it was gorgeous so l wanted to order one for my son. I already ordered another one yesterday and I'm going to return the frozen one during the week. Please if you read this, find my order and double wrap it completely top to bottom.

            Not a good looking plant at all!
            Almost every single leaf is cracked! There's a lot of cut pieces on it. There is only a couple of leaves that actually look good on it everything else is not good at all!
