The plant arrived soon after ordering it and was packed well - had a few green leaves. I transplanted it and it seems to be doing very well.

Truly this plant arrived so healthy and brimming with potential. So beautifully shaped for a young plant. I can’t wait to see it develop. Excellent specimen.
