    Great packaging and service.

    I loved the packaging. The pink syngonium plant that I got was infected. But because of separate packaging, the remaining plants are healthy. After I complained about the plant that was infected, they quickly sent me a second package with four healthy plants. It's been over a month now and all of the plants are well. (The syngonium that is infected hasn't died but it's not yet fully recovered I'm trying to save it). The pots are tiny, cute and excellent quality. Very pleased with purchase.
