The plant arrived in perfect condition. The size of the plant was a bit on the smaller one but I am sure it will get bigger
Nice small plant, it arrived quickly and in perfect conditions as usual, It was just a little pressed by other items, but did not suffered any damage.
Arrived in great condition, ordered 2 pots but there were two good-sized crypts in one of the pots so ended up with 3 decent sized plants overall. (read more)
