Went into the store at 3.58 pm exactly, the store didn’t look like it was open, however the hours on the door said open from 12 pm-7pm, a man sitting outside goes they are open so I walk inside and the girl says we’re closed, to which I say it says you’re open till 7 pm, she goes yeah we’re closing early today, no apology or anything, so unprofessional and rude. I had gone into purchase the ceramic pop up message that I couldn’t order online. So disappointing!

Aug 6th 2022- order 981300 confirmed, value approx $800 Aug 12th I emailed to query delivery as nothing received / no dispatch details emailed - a problem with stock that noone had spotted before my query Aug 15-19 several emails to choose a different item given stock issue Aug 19 I again query delivery and told will be dispatched the week ahead Aug 24th chased on email - no reply Aug 26th - chased again concluding "I don't know what to do now other than ask you to cancel the order and refund me in full". No reply I have now raised a chargeback via my bank. So - no plants, no communication, no refund. Fraud? Or just useless? So thank you not one little bit for helping me create a new home for my family after or emigration to NYC. You have wasted my time and my money.

Visited the shop to buy some a few repotting supplies and was genuinely surprised at how nice their employee was to me. I got some great advice on how to support my climbing plants and was supplied with some twine for free after I learned they didn't sell any in the shop.

Ordered a large Monstera; the plant we received had virtually every single leaf ripped, blackening or completely shredded. Customer service told us it probably happened in transit as though we're complete idiots; how does the inside of a box shred leaves? They wanted us to trim off about half the plant and try and regrow it ourselves. Got our refund eventually, which was the positive. I understand plants can recover if trimmed and treated well, but if you're going to charge 3x the average store you need to bring some sort of value to the table, and The Sill brings absolutely none.

They've had a couple of varieties in stock when I've been there and sometimes I didn't see any. Best to give them a call.

I received a Calathea for a gift - lovely. Some of the edges of the leaves are brownish. What does that mean? What do I do?

Eleanor Fridman | Oct 7, 2018
C Sat | Oct 7, 2018

Brown edges usually means you're either not watering enough or your humidity is too low.

How long does it usually take to restock the plants that are sold out online? I'm interested in buying a plant but it was sold out so fast!

Melissa You | Oct 7, 2018

Usually once a week they get shipments in, but it depends on the availability of how fast they can grow more
