United StatesMuch less than expected
My plant arrived with all of it’s leaves yellow and falling off. I’m hoping that with time it may come back and thrive. For $25 I was expecting a whole lot better.
United Statespretty small
item is on windowsill, watered only once. I will follow directions and hope it lives here in Florida
United StatesPerfect little plant!
This sweet little plant arrived perfectly and lovingly packaged, and was ready to leaf out. A few days after arriving new buds were emerging all over the place. Thanks Planet Desert - your plants are always well cared for before you send them off to their new homes!
United StatesShould be quite something in a few months
Plant goes dormant in winter, so it arrived with no stems and just three small leaves. It is now in a bonsai pot and has two stems coming along and twelve leaves. Can’t wait to see what it looks like in two or three months.
United StatesHealthy plant
It lost all it's leaves a day after it arrived, but I assume that is likely normal because of environment change. Ficus often do the same thing. Roots look healthy and the plant was a decent size.
