Exceeds my expectations.

This was a way larger plant than I would have expected for the price and from an online vendor. Packaging was done so well that all the rocks were still in place and no plants even had bent/broken spines. There is nothing but praise for Planet Desert, I will for sure be finishing other parts of my collection from here in the near future.
