Ordered from Kiki’s and am not disappointed! I did local delivery as I was within range and delivered on time and in great condition. They delivered it carefully without damage when I received it. Added photo of 1/2 I ordered (both were good). Also delivery and plant price are good as well.

Bought several plants from Kiki's Octopus Garden and had a great experience. She has such a unique selection you won't find at big box stores. Pricing is fair, and her customer service is fantastic. What really stood out is how much she educates you on plant care while you shop. Highly recommend for any plant lover looking for something special.

I’ve purchased two pitcher plants (nepenthes) that were recommended via email by Kimberly for “a beginner”. I have to say, I am amazed at the customer service & care put into this business! I had my plants shipped to NJ & everything came packaged with care. Her response time was quick & she makes customers feel…

I found Kiki's Octopus Garden through a random Facebook post, saying she had Anthurium Pallidiflorum seedlings and she sold them to me for only $10 each, plus shipping. I took a chance and ordered two from her. They had been rerouted on their journey and ended up delayed. She was worried they would have died by the time they reached me, so she sent me two more of them, which arrived so nicely packed. They are delicate little things and she had those babies SECURED. A couple of weeks went by and the original seedlings finally arrived, and wouldn't you know it, they were ALIVE! One of them even had a new leaf popping up! I HIGHLY recommend Kiki's Octopus Garden!
