    Nice Cute & Perfect

    Plants were delivered in excellent condition.
    Only hiccup was the edges of snake plant leaves were broken a bit. Other than that the ceramic pots and plants seemed to be perfect. Will water and take care of the plants as per the care guide provided with each.
    In case of any issues in the next few months will re-review.
