The Sill April 2020 Box Review
I decided to choose the "pet-friendly" subscription option since our dog, Tucker, seems to enjoy nibbling on our houseplants. I also decided to change my planter color to "mint" this month. You can swap planter colors every month if you so desire!

The plant was very carefully packaged, just like always. There was a special insert around the base of the plant to protect its roots and keep the dirt in place. And a heating pack was included since the winter months aren't awesome for shipping a plant.

There was an envelope with some additional info on my new friend. It included a card with information specific to the type of plant inside as well as an additional sheet with care instructions related to what the plant might need right away as it has just spent a few days in a dark box.
Marble Queen Pothos in Small Mint Hyde Planter – Retail Value $37.00
FYI: This plant arrived about 7 inches tall inside the planter and about 5 inches across.
I know, I know. There is nothing particularly rare about a Pothos. Still, though, I have to say that this is one of my favorite houseplants. I have a few in my house and I always welcome more. If you have a lower-light house these hearty little plants are an absolute dream. They grow fast, put up with loads of neglect, and eventually start to vine. The longest one in my house is about 12 feet, and we have it cascading down a banister. We also have another that is closer to 7 feet long and it lives on a shelf above our kitchen fireplace (we have a very old house with a weird kitchen fireplace). This is also a beautiful variation called 'Marble Queen' which showcases exquisitely patterned variegated leaves. I am excited to watch it grow down the shelves in my office.
Each one looks like it was hand-painted. I find it utterly charming.
The Verdict: My April The Sill delivery was very charming indeed. As a Pothos enthusiast, I am quite pleased, and even more ticked that the planter has a proper drain hole and a dish! I am very excited to add this little one to my new WFH office setup to bring me some cheer.
