I enjoyed shopping with Planet Desert. Will buy again
I enjoyed the variety of plants that were provided and can't wait to get my next plant.
Such an adorable cactus. It's a gem!
My plants were well packed when they came. Everything was just as described.
United StatesNice plant but had scale bugs on it
Can beautifully packaged but had some brown scale bugs on it. Cleaned it up and put some cinnamon on the wounds and is doing well.
