Question

i need help with tenses!
“If ever I found the plants neglected when I return, you’ll have had it from me! Do you
understand? ” That was mom again. Psychotic!

-> i need to know if the tenses in this sentence fall in Place.
-> And i'm doubtful if 'You'll have had it from me' is correct here.

Answer

I would say, “If ever I find the plants neglected when I return, you’ll have it from me! Do you understand?”  That just sounds more natural to me as a native English speaker, but I understand the meaning either way.
