United StatesEuphorbia japonica
It arrived in excellent health and looks beautiful although a bit small. I’m looking forward to watching it grow. I’m happy with my purchase.
United StatesCool looking plant and low maintenance
Super cool plant and very slow growing, other than getting new leaves. Which I like because I don’t have room for large plants. But one of the coolest looking plants I’ve had
United StatesThanks
Thanks
United StatesBeautiful specimen
This specimen was exactly as pictured on the website. Large, healthy, well packed and already growing. I was so impressed with 2 orders I’ve placed, for a total of 12 plants, that I have a dozen more waiting in my cart for a third order.
United StatesNice, healthy plant
As always, the plant was packed nicely and suffered no damage from shipping. It is a very nice little plant and appears to be healthy and in good shape.
