First rate plant seller.

I have used Planet Desert in the past and they are consistently the most reliable shipper. Their packing insures the plant reaches you intact and not dried out. They care about their plants AND their customers. They have my very highest recommendation.

Perfect!

Two of the longer leaves snapped off (probably during shipping), but otherwise in great condition, roots well established!

Fabulous Plant

It was better than pictured when delivered. Ingenious and eco-friendly packaging made for a safe trip. I’m since struggling with browning tips, have moved it to a brighter window. Love it.
