Not sure it's going to live. Hope it survives...
United StatesNice little succulent
I received my little succulent in great shape! It was nicely packed so there was no damage to the plant. It was exactly as described.
United StatesPretty but small
Well packaged and in great shape when they arrived, even though the post office lost them for a week. Much smaller than I expected from the pictures, less than 1.5" across. I'm looking forward to seeing them grow up.
United StatesPerfect little succulent!
Packaged with great care! Just wish it had care instructions for this special succulent. I love my Karoo Rose though! Thank you so much!
