pram! Such great care taken and I had them planted within the hour of receiving them! They have already sprouted new leaves within a couple of weeks in their new homes! Will be buying again from Plants online once Spring arrives and I had time to decide what to plant!

I placed an order, box looked like it was kicked around. Some plants are very small, not even 10cm tall. Some squashed into the packaging, a lot of the potting mix had fallen out and was bone dry. You can spend $20-$30 dollars at a nursery and get a plant 10 times the size of what Some of these tube stock are, some were very very young plants. I probably wouldn't buy from them again. I was disappointed.

My experience with Australian Plants Online has been extremely disappointing. Less than two months after planting, over 60% of the plants I purchased have died. Of the 22 Pittosporum Silver Sheen plants, 12 have died. Out of the daisies, only one survived. The Blue Daisy Bush took nearly two months just to show the slightest amount of growth, and… Read more

the Pink and Cardwell Haven plants have shown virtually no growth at all. What has made the situation even worse is that since planting these, our yard has become overrun with weeds that we never had before. Some appear to be parasitic and quickly overtake the surrounding plants. It has created far more work, expense, and frustration than expected. When the first plant died within about 10 days, I contacted customer service. To their credit, they refunded both the plant and the shipping cost. However, I was then told that any future issues would need to be reported within 48 hours of delivery. If a plant cannot reasonably survive beyond 48 hours, it should not be sold and shipped in the first place. As a result, I now have to spend additional money replacing these plants from another nursery that offers much larger, healthier, and more established plants for only a slightly higher price. Another disappointment was that the plants looked nothing like the photos on the website. Many arrived as tiny stems with very little growth, whereas the advertised images show much fuller, more established plants with multiple stems and branches. Overall, this has been a costly, time-consuming, and frustrating experience, and I will not be purchasing from Australian Plants Online again.

As a renter, I always love my place to look nice. I'm very house proud & get alot of pleasure out of making a house feel like home. Yes I spend money on plants for the garden, but I also get to enjoy the rewards of watching gardens grow & flourish. Buying Tubestock makes it very affordable for me. I have purchased many Tubestock from Australian… Read more ·  1

Plants Online over the past couple of years & the plants have always arrived very well boxed & super healthy. They have grown into healthy plants. I'm currently turning my Aquarium into a Terrarium & have already planted a few plants in there, im waiting for my next order of plants from Australian Plants Online to finish this out.. I'll attach a photo of it as it is now, then I'll update it once its planted out. EDITED!!!! I received my plants today & have planted out my fish tank.. im looking forward to having the plants relax & spread out a little, but for now im wrapped with how it looks.. I know I'll have to take out the Elkhorns & bird nest in time, but until such time, they can stay right where they are ! . Thank you APO for your beautiful stock of plants. Always packaged super well & super healthy..

I ordered some sea side daisies as a mate said they could survive anything - WRONG. They didn't survive the delivery from Plants on line. Very disappointed customer. Have emailed with photos, no reply, have called but can't get through.

Premium packaging and delivery The packaging and delivery really set the standard — clearly labeled, well protected, and handled properly. The plants arrived in fantastic condition, healthy and ready to go. They’re not the cheapest option, but the quality of the plants and the level of care throughout the process reflect a genuinely premium service. Show reply

Stunningly beautiful plants that are well cared for and packed in preparation for their journey. Healthy happy looking plants arrived well established as tubestock and should have no problem when once you plant them out. They are just beautiful. Lush even as tubestock. They'll be so much more when they're planted. They travelled from Sunshine… Read more ·  1

Coast Queensland to Orange NSW in a short time and arrived in beautiful condition. Thank you to Australian plants online for care in preparing for the long journey and Aramex who took care with them on the way to me. Many thanks.

I recently purchased 15 plants from Australian Plants Online. This was my first online purchase of plants in over 50 years of gardening having been most reluctant to use this method of purchasing over concern for plant quality. My order took 10 days to arrive and I was expecting to receive plants in very average to poor condition. I was delighted… Read more ·  1

however to find the plants were in excellent shape and looked as fresh as the day they were packed. ( see photograph ) The method and quality of packaging was also first rate. I watered and repotted the plants on arrival and couldn't be more happier with the end result. I highly recommend buying plants from this supplier.

Thank very much once again I give you 10 out of 10 plants arrived with no problems I want to buy more but items out of stock so will wait for more stock to arrive Show 4 replies

 Follow-up  · Plants all doing well and I have repotted them and feed them seasol for root growth. I am very pleased so far as it is a better way and a less expensive way of buying larger plants by buying them in tube stock you can see the plants grow. I will buy more plants this way as it is more economical and the delivery is very reasonably priced and very fast

Ordered two plant which arrived by post but were not in a very good state due long postage time but low and behold, after letting them know of the situation they sent two new plants express post to replace them no charge to me! How many other suppliers would do that these days? They are a ten out of ten business! Show reply

 Follow-up  · New plants delivered in excellent state, planted couple days later and thriving well thanks for your help and generosity

I received my plants today, they were in tubes which I expected, but the actual plant was half the size of what the pictures showed, I mean all 23 of them were half the size of the pictures showed. The plants look healthy, but I’m disappointed regarding size.

Very unhappy with their service, could not get updates on my order until they sent it. Postage price not worth it, as it is obviously sent via normal parcel post. My parcel is delayed, their website says don’t contact them over it. Live plants should be sent express postage so they don’t sit in transit for weeks. Will never return to this business again!

It's such a shame, I've been a returning customer for the past 5 years until their website started to not accept items to be added into the cart. I also had problems accessing pages and considerably long wait time for each page. I have been emailing back and forth for over a month since I got my first error. That was november 2025, no resolution… Read more

has been made. Bianca from the email suggested I call them to place an order, but defeats the ease of online shopping if I have to write a list of products I want to buy, and then giving my credit card info through a call.

Please please hire a professional to clean up the website, I love your products, they're low cost and perfect for a diy to start before going deeper into the hobby, but a faulty website with no acknowledgement that the system is not working for some people is not excusable in 2026 especially since the issue has been brought up 2 months ago.

I got let down by my local nursery for a big job that needed over 100 plants of one variety within 48 hours. I was recommended to look up these guys when I went to Bunnings in desperation. I spoke to a super helpful lady and she even put my order in over the phone after I explained my situation and she could hear I was driving. They got the plants… Read more ·  1

to Coffs Harbour in under 22 hour of me calling and they were extremely well packaged. I planted them the next day and they were very healthy tube stock with well developed roots and I consider very cheap for the quality. I am now going to be using these guys for the bulk of my jobs in the future. Lawnhub Gardening

Helpful phone advice, extensive online catalogue with useful plant information, simple ordering process and excellent plant appropriate packaging. This was my first online plants purchase and I was very impressed with the whole process from APO. My plants arrived very quickly (to Brisbane) and were in perfect condition. I will definitely use this nursery again. Show reply

Hopefully the plants will be ok!!!! Placed order on 7th November, its now 16th and still not here. Chased them up the week after order to see why hadn't been sent, they sent them the next day. So disappointing after receiving great service and delivery in 3-4-days from a different seller (in same state). Plants better be in excellent condition when arrive or will be demanding $$$ back.

I ordered 20 plants 14days ago and the local deliver company aramex tracking software is a total waste of time You can’t ring aramex either so I storage no idea when the 20 plants I ordered will arrive Frustrating to say the least
