Miracle Fruit/Berry Plant Synsepalum dulcificum

Was worried about ordering live plants through the mail system, but, these shipped quickly and arrived alive and healthy. They are cute and I am looking forward to growing them. I, also, bought some freeze dried berries before I purchased these live plants, to see if they really worked. They do. Fun. / Following up a little over a year later. Bought these near spring of last year. I personally would not buy again. They require a lot of special care, which I'm not really into. I like easy plants like snake plants or marigolds that just easily thrive. These miracle berries are not that kind of plant. They need a certain humidity level and the acidity of the soil has to be maintained. If you are into giving your plants this kind of attention, then you might enjoy them and, hopefully, will have better luck than I did. I'll stick to buying the freeze dried berries and growing low maintenance plants. I'm not going to remove my original stars, though, because some people might enjoy the time and effort these plants require. They did arrive healthy. I just couldn't maintain the tropical environment they needed.

I thought this was a live plant but it turns out it was plastic it never grew, never died. What a fool I’ve been watering and babying the plant watering and fertilizer. Only to find out that after two months it’s plastic. Guess the jokes on me

Well packaged and arrived in perfect condition shipping from Florida to Texas in 100F+ temps. Looks like I was given 2 in fact. At this point I think it's just up to me not to kill them. Update: One of the two died the 1st week or so but the other grew into a nice bush producing lots of fruit in under 2 years! Yes bad review people they aren't trivial to grow so don't blame the seller unless they die very soon after arrival. Otherwise blame yourself, you're not a bad person and are actually in great company. I did eventually killed mine because I didn't know their roots are super delicate (I grow bonsai; do not treat them that way). So I wanted to warn others. Just now I came back to this seller for a replacement because they ARE a fair price and they were shipped correctly to me last time. Small, yes but they probably recover from shipping more easily that way. Be careful of the roots! Do not trim them unless absolutely necessary! Try again like I am because they are such cool plants...

My friend is an avid gardener and it was her birthday. She had seen a video on youtube about the Magic Miracle Berry. I thought this would be a unique and fun gift. I also bought a sampler bag of the berry itself. It was a big hit. The seedling came nicely packaged and was in excellent shape with directions. Admittedly, it is very small, but as I stated it was in good shape. We live in Zone 9 and it should do well. Be sure you know what zone this little plant requires and know it will take years to produce the berries. The only drawbacks were was that it took a lengthy time to arrive, but was as promised. It is also very expensive for what you get.

These plants didn't make it 3 months

Healthy, 4” tall, well packaged and protected, came with instructions and arrived sooner than expected. Yes it’s small…but I’ve been trying to germinate seeds for a month now is 3 different ways and it’s nearly impossible. Thankful for a successful sprout!

The plant is so small, it's a bit expensive for what it is. I had grown miraculous from seeds before and this plant is not 6 months old, maybe 1 month old at the most. It will not take 2 years to bear fruits, maybe 4 years if I'm lucky. The plant could be a little bigger and stronger for the price.

I see some reviews about peoples plants coming dead and I think to myself those people dont understand how shipping works. The sellers plants ship ALIVE it just takes so much time to get to your house that by than the plants ded. So dont leave a bad review if that happens my plant came in under four days? (With amazon prime) And it was alive and perfect it even came with a instruction card which was super nice. AND if you needed more details it even has a website! Great seller and prepared for the people that need more detail. Amazing product.
