Looks a little stressed but it looks healthy. Excited to watch this Hawaiian Punch grow. Shipping and packaging were both good.
Hi there, thanks so much for your thoughtful review! We’re glad your Hawaiian Punch arrived safely and are excited for you to watch it grow. A little transition stress can happen after shipping, so we hope it settles in beautifully.
Plants came in healthy, leaves didn't make it but that's expected
Quality starters, arrived on time!
Absolutely stunning plant. A little smaller than I expected but it's doing well!
They died won't order plants like this again
Everything came perfect packed and ready to grow in the greenhouse🌿🪴
Ordered 3 plants. All arrived promptly and in excellent health. Plants were very well packed.
I was a little concerned when I planted that the leaves were a little droopy. After a week, they have perked up and look great in my shade pot. Would definitely purchase from this seller again.
Love the shipping packed very good only problem is there's only one leaf and it's going brown so I've been waiting for a second one to come in so we'll see
This plant went dormant a couple days after arriving I talked to Customer Service and they were so helpful. I repotted and feed it and now I have two new shoots.
Tiny, hope he makes it!
It came just as expected!! I recommend this place!
Healthy and intact! Thank you!
Arrived properly packaged. Pot was covered staked and wrapped to fit the box so it didnt jossle around in the box. Plant had no damage and there was barely a pinch of soil loose in the box. This seller clearly cares.
My baby looks beautiful! Well packaged, no problems. Looks awesome!
I ordered multiple rare colocasia's from a number of shops all at once. I must say that this shop felt much more unique than others. I appreciate that my rooted cutting wasn't just sent in a death wrap and was actually very well secured to a tiny planter. So glad to add this piece to my collection. Will order again. Mahalo
So happy with my purchase. The plants were packed securely and healthy. One of the blue Hawaiians already had a new plant growing in the container with the main plant and new leaves coming out already.
The stem was a stem and the one was broken! I will not purchase again.
thank you so much these are such beautiful little baby plants 😁
Well packed plants are healthy can't wait to see them grow
Thank you
The first one was lost on shipping, the seller kindly sended a replacement.
This one came in time and is a perfect and healty little plant. Only lost one leaf. And now has sprouted 2 new ones.
Very happy with plant. Soil still moist. Fast shipping.
These came in a bit smaller than I expected but that was my fault for not reading carefully. They are healthy and have since grown multiple more stocks. Grew rapidly when I fertilized them. Can't wait for them to get bigger! Packaging was well done. Thank you!
both plants came to me healthy and took within the first hour after being planted. very excited to see them get bigger!!!!
