I wish I had been warned that it would take 10 days to arrive, instead of the 2-day express that I paid for. The plant arrived looking very sad, most leaves fallen and looking very sickly. I probably will not ever have a plant shipped to me again.
Kiwi comes in surprisingly with “branches“. I actually just so happy when I see it. It looks so different. The color might be too green because I don’t have it facing direct sun light yet. However, it just looks so great! I wish all of succulents I ordered cake to me like it haha. Thank you! Picture taking 3 weeks after receiving the plant.
I will order from you again. All th plants were thriving. I saved the leaves that did fall or break off as cuttings. No luck propagating so far, but one plant seems to have survived transplantation. This particular plant is doing well
