United StatesMy order was absolutely beautiful, except for this plant. It seems to be putting up a good fight but the leaves are next to none I have two new leaves coming and I'm hoping to get the spider mite infestation under control. It did not arrive with pretty pink variegation in the leaves. There were only two leaves. They looked pale and the life was ****** out of them. Unfortunately, all of my plants have suffered some sort of spider mite issue, I think because this plant was in the box. I would order cacti from here again but I have another succulent that is not doing well from the same order.
United StatesIt was healthy and great condition. I'm very happy with it.
United StatesI could not be happier with my recent purchase, from beginning to end. I was kept updated on the status of my order, and received my order very fast. I was very impressed with the condition of the plants. All in perfect condition, six plants with not even one broken leaf or spine! I will definitely continue to order. Thank you very much, Anthony.
