    Healthy plant

    Posted by Maria A. on Jan 14th 2021

    Plant came healthy and undamaged but definitely smaller than what I was expecting according to the previous reviews. Only complaint was that the soil either spilled out or it wasn’t packed as much so I’m forced to repot it ASAP and hopefully that wouldn’t hurt the plant much. Would definitely buy again though.

    Akebias

    Arrived in great shape. They’re very small— as I expected. Hoping for the best. Hard to find, so I’m happy to have them.
