I purchased this as a Thank you gift. They loved it! It was shipped with care and so lush and green. I will recommend, also order with them again.nnT Pryor
Plant survived a long 9 day journey to CA! Was packaged exceptionally well! Plant is large and beautiful. What I love about it is the balanced proportions of the leaves that fan out evenly. Seller responded to my question very quickly regarding the slight curling of leaves due to long transit, and how to care for the plant. Highly recommend this seller!!!
