United StatesAlready Assembled
It's great the way they ship plants in their pots, with rubbber bands and plastic bags holding in the top dressing and soil. Even though I usually use my own soil, I don't have to scramble and pot up my plant right away. I can just leave in the pot it's in until I get time.
