How tall are baby plants?

We aim to ship your plants when they’re 3-8” tall, though we often ship them taller than that.

What determines whether I get a 3-, 6-, or even 18-inch-tall plant?

The exact size of the plant we send you is variable on the time of year and how long we've been growing it out.

Plant was shipped great, but looked a little weak upon receiving. It didn't last but about a week before it completely died. I tried to save it, but was unsuccessful.
