“I’ve ordered quite a few plants from Hortology over the last year or two and the quality of the plants has always been outstanding. The packaging is really good and shipping is super fast in my experience. This time I ordered an Aloe Vera and the quality was again really good, I have to say though that I was a little disappointed with the size of the plant. I ordered the 15cm pot with a plant height of 50cm. The plant I received was not in a 15cm pot, it’s difficult to measure it with the plant in situ but it’s either 13cm or 14cm, it fits inside a 15cm ceramic pot with plenty of room to spare! The plant itself is basically 40cm from the base of the pot not 50cm! One single frond just about reaches 44cms but all the rest are 40cm or less. I do know that plants vary and that there is a ‘tolerance’ but if I had known that the ‘tolerance’ was this significant then I would probably have ordered the next size up! As it is this purchase has left me just a little disappointed as I wanted a substantial plant for a present. I think a 6cm or 10cm difference depending on how you look at it is really pushing it with regards to tolerances. Shame really!”
