A fantastic Succulent company to deal with, plants are sent promptly & all are in excellent condition upon arrival.
I purchased a few succulents on a great website with clear pictures and good explanation on each plant. I was notified by email when the plants were sent. They arrived well wrapped and damp in good time. They all arrived in perfect condition. It was great to shop online with this company. Sooooo much better than going to a nursery, standing in the hot sun, talking to somone who possibly know less than you about plants. I will be ordering more soon.
