          Fronds way smaller than expected. Clumped and tangled together, hard to work with. A generous portion, more than expected.They are healthy looking and hoping they will grow and spread.

          Amazing~

          I received a very generous amount of moss and each portion was healthy. It also arrived fairly quickly in good packaging. Always love getting plants from here!

          Generous, healthy

          I like ordering plants during spring and fall when temperatures are less likely to be extreme. My portions of moss arrived wrapped in foil without any brown die-off. I thought the portions were generous. (I actually bought way more than I needed.) The strands of moss were adequately long, and not finely chopped trimmings.
