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.

I LOVE it!

I’m so excited for this Thailand Giant! It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for to make my Southwest garden “pop” with a tropical touch! This is my second time ordering the Thailand giant. Sadly, I lost the first one when I repotted it in soil with poor drainage. I ordered this new one, and WOW WOW WOW! Thank you Wellspring Gardens for sending me this beautiful plant. I’m so happy to be a repeat customer and look forward to expanding my garden collection. ❤️

For $17 a piece I was expecting a bigger plant instead of the little twigs I received I can't see how they will amount to much this year oh well live and learn!
