I am happy with the purchase I made with the String of Pearls. The only thing was I thought it might be a little bit bigger BUT it is not terrible. All of my plants were packaged very well and arrived right on time! If I keep these alive, I haven't any a green thumb yet, I plan on purchasing more and telling my friend about this website too!
