    Packaging was a bit out of order. One of the main shoots were broken. I tried to correct it. New leaves have already sprouted in the corrected branch. Healthy plant overall. If the packaging was better, it was obviously an excellent choice.

    Delightful

    Some time has passed since i bought these plants and i find no faults. The ceramic containers are really elegant and aesthetic which will look gorgeous in your home gardens. Be sure to follow the instructions that come with these (I almost lost the snake plant to overwatering). I will surely buy more products from this retailer.
