    amazing products got from nurserylive

    I have not written a review so quickly upon just getting the product. I must say that I was anxious about the shipping of the plants and how and what conditions I will be receiving them. I am happy to inform that the kids are alright! Just a lil bit thirsty! And hungry for sunlight. Many many thanks to the seller!
