**UPDATE** Added two closer pictures of my plant. It's been 3.5 months now. It's growing four new rhizomes. It lost one single rhizome with a single leaf (the cut stub on the left that's drying out). It has been healthy and happy, just as you'd expect from a zz. /update.
I had a lot of trouble finding a zz plant locally, so I took the risk of ordering one online. I ended up finding one at a far away Lowe's while this was in shipping. At the time my plant was supposed to arrive four days later than expected, so I decided it would probably be dead. I bought the zz plant at Lowe's so I wouldn't be entirely without one.
Surprisingly, it still arrived on time and it was alive. Soil was soft and damp still. I cut a couple yellowed and dying leaves off, but otherwise it seems very healthy.
However, I spent $6 more for this plant (the small one with black pot) that's 13" tall from soil to top than I spent on this very large zz from Lowe's (in the plant stand) that is 21" tall. Not to mention the larger plant has much more plant, about 3x more stems and leaves and is much more mature.
It's good if you can't find one locally, but if you know of any local nurseries or stores who carry them, you'll probably save money and get to pick the one you like.
Other than that, it is a healthy and happy plant that I look forward to growing as large as my other zz.
This plant arrived in perfect condition (the box was a different story) close to fully grown. It's happily residing in my office without direct sunlight and it's doing well.
The one star review for being poisonous makes absolutely no sense.
Costa farms surprises me everytime with their products. This is my second purchase, first being the Fiddle leaf fig plant. Looked everywhere for a ZZ plant that was big enough and healthy looking one in my budget. Costa farms beats all the best prices compared online and instores. Love my plant and love how it adds more value to my decor. I was so happy with my instagram feature that my clients now are fans of Costa Farms.
lets talk about the plant itself. Came in a very carefully packaged box, shipping was super fast. even in Georgia summer the plant was fresh and healthy, zero broken leaves. Instructions were clear.
My only suggestion to the vendor is to add summer and winter care, pruning, watering measurements instructions to be added as a bonus. Most of the plant killers like me can really benefit from that. Otherwise highly satisfied with the purchase.
My plant arrived today. Based on a few of the comments on here, I was a little cautious about what I would receive, but my plant looks very much like the photo. I was impressed with the packaging: a nice tall box, with the paper and tape keeping the soil intact without damaging the plant or throwing soil in the box. It's a nice, healthy looking ZZ. Glad I went with Costa Farms.
Absolutely perfect. Came well packaged & quicker than expected. If I need another ZZ plant, I'll purchase again!

This is the healthiest plant it is growing beautifully. I would buy from this business again, in fact I have already ordered several plants. Thanks again Amazon for carrying these plants.
My plant arrived a few days later than expected......post office problem not seller! The box was smashed, so I didn't know what I would find. The plant was beautiful & healthy, in perfect condition. I placed Mr Zee [yes he has a name!!] in our bathroom for a few weeks & he did very well. Then I decided to place him under my grow lights & WOW did he take off. The plant has grown taller & fuller in a very short time. I was amazed because I thought this plant was a slow grower!! I LOVE this plant & Costa Farms.
Plant arrived in great condition, and there was obviously thought put into their shipping methods. Good-sized plant, looked healthy upon arrival, and was obviously watered before being shipped. Roots were a tad on the cramped side, but this was no problem as I had immediate plans to re-pot anyway. Overall great experience and I look forward to ordering more plants from Costa Farms.
This plant arrived earlier than expected and exceeded my expectations. It was strong and healthy, although a bit root bound. Since I bought it to use its leaves in cooking, I was delighted to see that it was large enough that I can harvest a leaf or too already without guilt. The vendor is promoting it as a house plant, and it is, indeed, quite handsome.
OMGosh, I received a lovely plant, healthy looking, well contained in its packaging material. I'm so happy! This plant is so beautiful I may have to get more at a later date. It's very cool here for the South, but this plant arrived in wonderful shape, healthy and large! I am not at all disappointed and happy to continue doing business with a terrific shop like this!
