Longevity Spinach Live Plant - Gynura procumbens - Wellspring Gardens Nutrient-Rich Live Vegetable Plants - Vibrant & Healthy Plants, Easy to Grow & Maintain - Ideal for Outdoor & Indoor Planting

I love this Longevity Spinach plant. It arrived extremely healthy and well packaged. It has a pretty brown stem with bright beautiful green leaves with not a bug on it. I planted it to keep indoors year round in a 12'" terracotta pot with lightly premoistened purely organic soil and 2 self watering plant stakes with a colored wine bottle full of water in each plant stake (colored bottle to keep light out of bottle to prevent algae growing in the bottles of water that's inserted in the plant stakes). It gets a couple hours of window sun and when the sun goes down it gets about 3 hours under a led daylight bulb that's about 10"s to a foot above it. It's been about two -three weeks and has new growth. This is my first time using the self watering plant stakes and only watered the soil one time about a week after I planted it and have just been letting the self watering plant stakes do the watering since then and it seams happy with being watered just by the 2 plant stakes so far. I previously had problems with gnats in some other types of plants that I grew from seed and hoping the self watering plant stakes will prevent that from happening again. The listing doesn't mention if it was grown organically or not and I'm assuming it wasn't, which bothers me, but I still gave them 5 stars.

I recommend everyone get this plant due to the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-obesity activities. I have had success growing it in front of a south facing window in a 5 gallon fabric pot w/wick to water the screened soil from my chicken coop.

I received a very healthy plant and it was growing marvelously. I transferred it into the brown pot that you see in the pics. I got the pot from a local store for under $5. I also bought a bag of soil on Amazon for about $20. I left the plant out on my window sill and watered it daily, or sometimes would spray it with water. It was growing very nicely every week.I'm in New York and we had a recent snowstorm. I read online that spinach can grow in cold weathers and snow, so I left it outside. However, the next day after the storm, the plant withered. I didn't take any pics of that; I wish I did. I decided to just keep the pot in the house and to my surprise, I saw some baby leaves growing. I cut off all the black/withered twigs and dead lines. I am again watering daily but this time I'm keeping the plant inside. I'll only put it outside if it's warm and sunny. I'm actually impressed it's regrowing. It's a great feeling to see something come back to life.Side Note: the smaller pot next to the bigger pot is me trying to grow a lemon seed from scratch. Nothing yet, Lol.

I planted exactly by the directions and two months later it is still DEAD, their warrenty is that you ship it back and they might determin it is dead, BAD BUSINESS!!!

It arrived healthy. watered it, waited a few days, and planted it in another pot. It is doing great with new leaves popping up.. Great price, great value.

Complaints are not my style - I like to think of it as an observation. Let's start here - the plant arrived alive. Nice roots - still "moist". Most of the leaves were green - all exhausted and some yellowed. Too the point - had this not been a plant like Katuk it would have needed life support. Not the shippers fault - other than they used USPS - who left a call tag in my mailbox stating they had attempted to deliver but were unable - you know the orange one. So go see your Post office - Time Stamp 08:43AM So..... when I check the mail at days end there is notice - too bad the Post was closed by then and the plant was now sitting in their waiting room. Typical USPS. That extra batch of hours it sat unnecessarily probably would have choked a plant that already took a 3 day journey in July. UPS and FedEx would have made it here. Other than the shipping - The plant is in dirt and showing signs of improvement.

My plant arrived on time and in good condition. Very nice!

I know next to nothingvabout this plant. It is growing and I am removing leaves for consumption. Tastes like regular spinach. I am not aware of its nutritional value.
