    The photo of the plant she was supposed to send
    Laurice A.

    I wish I could give 0 stars. This review is from a shipment order. I haven't been in her store so I can't say anything about it, but if you are thinking about having a plant shipped to you STAY AWAY!! I found this seller on Facebook in August '19 because I was looking for an Albo Monstera. She was extremely nice at first, and said that I couldn't pick my plant since they would be similar but that she would sent pictures by 12/10/19 to decide if I wanted a refund. Weird, but fair enough so I pay for it. That day comes around, no word from her so I message her. Says she will send me a picture once she gets to her greenhouse. No picture again, so I ask again. This happened about 3 times. When she finally sends a picture, the plant was not what I expected but looked healthy so fine I agree to it. Now the sketchiness happens. She says she cannot ship the plant due to weather. Fair enough, it is December and she lives in Ohio. Maybe she should've thought about that before taking shipment deposits? However, this goes on until January. It was all "explanation points" and "happy face emojis" until I started questioning what was going on. Then all niceness flew out the window. Like, hello lady am I not entitled to an explanation after already paying for the plant? It's not some Pothos you get at your local Home Depot. Finally the plant arrived 2/1/20, and boy was this the most pathetic plant I've ever laid eyes on. First of all, it was NOT the plant she sent a picture of. Second, it was BURNT, BENT, and YELLOWING. The packaging literally looked like a 3 year old packed it. It was in a box 3 times the plant's size, her "heat packs" were two hand warmers (the kind you get from dollar tree, which by the way left burn marks on both leaves), there was cotton that looked like she took it out of a stuffed animal, and the roots were wrapped in Saran Wrap and showing early signs of root rot. I immediately messaged her, and she had no sympathy whatsoever because she claimed the plant roots looked healthy. Are you crazy?! I paid for a healthy plant, not a plant that needed the hands of God to save. She offered me a sad $50 refund, which by the way NEVER came through. Less than a week later, the root rot really sets in even after trimming off the bad roots. I let her know I want a full refund and she refuses and has the audacity to ask me, "do you even know how to care for albos?" Umm no I just paid over $200 for a plant for fun! This woman has ZERO experience in shipping plants. The plant is now completely dead even after bringing it to my trusted plant store to help save it. Now I'm having the bank deal with it. This seller is a liar, horrible communicator, and a terrible person who is only looking to make a quick buck. She is a new business owner and it shows with her lack of customer service and inflexible refund policy. She is another seller just taking advantage of the booming plant scene and popularity of the Albo Monstera. My biggest mistake was not trusting my instincts from the beginning. Do not trust her.

    Philo has rarer cooler plants than you'll find at any of the other shops in town. Savannah the owner is super nice and helpful. Additionally, the prices are super reasonable compared to other stores and sellers of rare plants. Not to mention when I stopped in the shop during the BLM protests I saw cases of water and a first aid kit as she was preparing to aid protesters. Love this little shop!

    A few of my favorite plants I purchased from Philo

    I. Love. This. Place. The owner of the shop is one of the kindest, most helpful people I've met. She is incredibly knowledgeable about plant care and has even helped me troubleshoot issues I was having with my own plants at home. There is a very wide of selection of hard-to-find plants in the store as well as online (you can order via Facebook). We have purchased hoyas, monstera, peperomia, tetrasperma, begonia, and calathea from the shop at really great prices. The plants are all beautiful and healthy and I highly recommend shopping here!

    Wish I could give no stars. Stay away from Philo in Cincinnati. I ordered a full pot of Yellowstone back on 7/30 when it shipped. I was constantly reaching out for a tracking number, I finally got one (3 weeks in) and USPS was delayed (normal, I dealt with it), but I just got my package and I am beyond livid. They never stated I was getting 2, horribly packaged bare root plants?! I had ordered a full pot. I am reaching out again, but I am not even being hopeful for any type of refund at this point with the horrible communication just requesting a tracking number.

    Over expensive and plants were all half dead. Wish it had better quality and more affordable plants.

    My lady is a huge plant fan so when she discovered this spot in Instagram I knew we had to go. Plus…read moreshe told me it involved libations so I was interested too. Am I glad we went? Absolutely! Great place with so much to offer! We stopped by on a Monday evening and got to talk to Lauren who is one of the owners. She was very inviting and told us all about the place. Of course, we indulged in a few drinks while we were there. They have a nice selection of wine, craft beer, and nonalcoholic drinks and mocktails so there's something for everyone. They also have bottles and packs to go. The place is loaded with beautiful plants, accessories, plant supplements, and so much more. You can even pot your own plants or create floral arrangements. They also have a nice selection of books. And everything is priced very nicely. This is a very cool little place for plant lovers of all kinds. They also have yoga classes once a month. I can absolutely see my lady and I going back again, especially since it's pretty close to our house, and Lauren was so hospitable with us.

    Such a bohemian vibe! I popped in with my family on a busy saturday afternoon and it was packed…read more I really loved this place, the only disappointment was they had run out of coffee, and i was really looking forward to having some. next time i would book a table to do a craft. But will definitely go back
