What customers say
Customer sentiment centers on the inherent difficulty of maintaining this Gardenia. Initial delivery is excellent; packaging ensures plants arrive beautiful and fragrant, leading to high immediate satisfaction. However, many buyers report rapid decline shortly after arrival, citing leaf drop and failure to rebloom despite following care guides. This struggle contrasts sharply with the premium price, creating frustration for the average consumer. Success is largely reserved for experienced plant owners in ideal environments. While The Sill provides a high quality initial product, the plant's temperamental nature drives most negative feedback regarding long term value and reliability.
