I am shocked how huge and healthy this plant is - ESPECIALLY considering it came in a box to my doorstep. I plan to repot it soon to a 12 inch, as it’s outgrowing its pot upon delivery. It has several new fronds shooting up and uncurling and the existing fronds look amazing. Quality packaging and a quality plant. I would order from this seller again in a heartbeat.

Update: costa farms issued a brand new plant and shipped it immediately after they returned my inquiry, no questions asked. I discarded the larvae infested plant. The one I have currently has had no issues so far.I plan to update this if Costa Farms decides to respond to my inquiry with them however, it was submitted and they have had enough time to send a response and have not yet.I received a majesty palm at the beginning of August, the plant had two main growths. The soil stayed moist throughout for the past few weeks of me checking. The top soil dried out about a week ago and I lightly watered it, not enough to saturate though because my house is over 60% humidity and it wasn't baking in sunlight. I had it in a north facing window temporarily. I woke up about a week and a half ago and the smaller palm of the plant collapsed and the bulb structure was rotten, two days ago the rest of the plant collapsed with a rotten structure. The plant pot is dropping millipedes both mature and young, the entire soil is infested with them as is the root and bulb structure of the plant which explains why it rotted so quickly.This is a first for me, I've purchased Costa Farms plants in the past and I have never experienced worms/millipedes or infestations of any kind within the first 30 days of having a plant. This is really odd and super gross. I cannot make the plant come back from this, the whole thing is completely rotted out. I was considerably worried about the rare plants that I already own also becoming infested and I've had to now quarantine them to be sure that they don't end up rotting and the substrate they are planted in will need to be replaced. All of my non rare plants will also need to be repotted with new soil since I can't take any chances. I'm hoping I'll be able to update this and change my rating when they finally respond to make this right.I'm all for natural pest control but millipedes upon research sound like they have far more negative effects on the soil than benefits considering they feed on organic matter. Looking forward to Costa's response/explanation.

This plant was beautiful: shipped well and arrived in great condition. Unfortunately, even with regular watering, a moisture detector designed for majesty palms, appropriate plant food and a window seat, this plant died within two months of receipt. I have dozens of different types of plants in my home, so I’m not inexperienced with care, and read up before every new addition. It was a bummer to lose such a large and beautiful plant: but reading other reviews it seems this is a common problem with this product.I suppose it’s all in how you look at it: this is more affordable than a bouquet of flowers and lasted 8 times as long. But for something so large are seemingly well rooted and established, it seems such a waste.If it lasted, it would be five stars; giving one for the shipping and handling and one for the state of the plant that arrived at my door.

Plant, itself, was full and healthy. Just what I'd hoped for. However, after a few weeks, fungus gnats were flying around the soil, so it came with larvae in the soil. These can damage the roots, causing the leaves to yellow and the plant to die after a while.I looked up ways to get rid of fungus gnats (like placing an inch of sand on top of the soil -- the fungus gnats like wet soil and can't get to it through the sand) and it looks like their numbers are already decreasing after a day.

I love the plant and it is really full and looks to be pretty health, but it seems that it was packaged in a box too short for the plant. The three tallest palms had some damage to the leaves, where they were either completely crushed or bent to where I had to cut them off. Also the top of the box was crushed in, I don't know if UPS did it of the vendor.Update: I bought this same plant from my local Home Depot and that plant is still alive, I have both of them in the same area of my house, both are sitting on a bed of rocks with water for extra humidity and in the same size pot with the same watering schedule. But this plant is now complete brown and dry. Not happy that I wasted my money on this plant.
