    Beautiful indoor plants

    Plants came in beautiful and perfect. Would have given more stars for packaging if possible. All the plates were seperately packed. Plants were fresh, nice and lively. They were in small white mug size pot.
    Delivery was prompt and on time which was very important factor for me as it was a birthday gift for my mom. I am happy and so is the birthday girl.
