      Excellent size and condition

      Arrived in the best possible condition. Attached is the photo of the plants on the day of arrival, I ordered a single portion, very fair number/size of stems. They are bit pale, as any plants would be after being shipped. However, they are gaining pink colors quickly. I will try posting another photo once this gorgeous plants get established.

      Came super healthy

      Nice sturdy stems and a good size plant. Not a tissue culture that will easily melt away and die on you.
