United StatesI love this little guy
I really love this one. So cool looking and so easy to take care of. It’s still a baby but already getting new leaves. I love it especially because I have never seen it for sale anywhere else. Planet desert is awesome since they always have much harder to find plants than most places I’ve gone to locally.
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.
