why do so many customers say when they get this plant it is not red as the picture says?

It could depend on the time of year when they order it. Before the mother plant produces pups, it loses all its red color because its energy is going into making babies.

Mine does look somewhat red, but not as much as in the website photo. That didn't bother me, it's still cute. It is living in a large, stone bottomed glass bowl with 4 other air plants and seems very happy. Perhaps there is a color difference between web-sites and real life?

They like some sun, but the plant I got was damaged and died. Don't put in the shade if you go with either buyer, they do like sun, mine didn't stand a chance with the leaves clipped and it being so tiny. I looked so forward to seeing this grt!ow and bloom, what a disappointment, good luck with yours!!

It is indeed red. I ordered two of these on two separate occasions. Both were red.

I just bought it for my son a little whe ago and no it does not. It's actually really hard to find good quality plants lol. But he loves it anyway!

The one I just received January 29 2014 does not have the fruit decor- plain red!

I don't have any flowers yet but all the leaves are turning red and falling off. I think I have some buds. I have several very short leaveless branches and two very tall shoots and all of these are just about leaveless now. They are advertised to grow good in a sun room or room with lots of light and that is where I have mine. I have tried to get info back from the company as to the condition of my plant and even sent some pics but no response from them as yet. I got mine July 2013 and I sure expected it to look a lot better than it does now. I am concerned that it is dying. Hope you have better luck than I am having!!

I got one with a red base as well...and in fairness that is what is pictured. Probably there is a lot of stock in that color and this is how they are running it out. Still works great though.

Well, I got the the one that looks like the tiny blades of grass on the top left--neanthebella palm, nephthytis which doesn't look like what shows up on google images, and 3 other plants that weren't labeled and have died. I've had better luck going to the local nursery. The plants there are healthier.

Its the actual plant, This supplier took extra care in the packaging so I wouldn't be too concerned of the welfare of the plant. Mine survived and is thriving today.

Hard question even after going to look. It is definitely red, not orange, but the red is slightly to the yellow side. I would say it is quite a bit redder than the picture.

It is bright red. VERY red. We actually just went to put this up yesterday. It was shining red into the house. The room it was shining into has greys and whites....the red was clashing. I am going to try and sell it. If you don't mind the red....go for it.

Maybe you got a knock-off. I don't know why it came in a clear container, mine came as pictured. I would contact seller and asked why, and I'd ask as for a replacement. Did it work? Did you try it? Sometimes packageing runs out; so they were probably doing what they could to get it to you. If its the same company, they are good as far as i know. ive used their product several time. but not sure. Mahalo. Happy Grow Lucky!

Not yet, the plant I bought was very small and I don't think the price was fair, it is growing very nicely though.

Yup. It isn't as it is pictured. I'm not sure I got the real stuff. I didn't see much/ any impact on any of my flowers or vegetables.

On the sheet of information I received from the seller, it states the product is wildcrafted --meaning it's taken from the wild. so most likely they have different areas where they know the plant grows and harvest from there. that's usually how wildcrafting works.

I am assuming it is the White and black, but I don't know. I have had mine for two years now and it has grown a lot but it hasn't flowered or fruited yet.

No, my shipment didn't arrive with a list of plants by species. However, I contacted the seller for another reason and they were completely helpful. I'm sure they would be happy to include a list of plants if you request it with your order. FYI, I had a bigger order so I received many duplicate plants.
