It arrived three days ago and looked a little rough since it was a long trip, but I sat it in a north-facing window and gave it a good soaking with warm water and a dose of liquid African Violet plant food (it’s what I use on all my houseplants and they love it) and look at it now … it’s all proofed out and looking nice and perky. I’m very happy with this little plant and have high hopes that it will do just fine in my home.

My plant came alive and well! I previously ordered this exact listing a few years ago, and received an almost lifeless little guy. I was able to save it, and it lasted me a long time before I lost it in a freeze due to my own ignorance. 💔 I finally made the decision to reorder, and the new plant came in a much better condition, so I really applaud the company from learning better practices for shipping over the years. My baby is perfect! Worth every penny. (The picture is a few weeks old- it’s completely thriving now :) pushing out new growth constantly!)

Original review: This plant looks like it was deprived of water and light loooong before it went into the shipping box. Many of the older leaves look like lost causes. Hopefully I can get it to come back. It was well packed, at least. Update: After a couple days it perked up a little and got some color back. But... I had noticed when I first watered it that the soil seemed weird. It all wanted to float up when I watered, like it was new. And relatively little water came out of the drainage holes. After several days, the soil is still sopping wet. The last thing I want to do is repot a plant that is already stressed, but now I'm worried about root rot. This plant is in some kind of water retaining mix, completely wrong for a succulent. The soil has to be replaced immediately or the plant is 100% a lost cause. So... yeah. I had to bare root it to replace the soil. At first I thought that this mass of brown was soil that wouldn't separate from the roots. But nope: that mass of brown IS the roots. Healthy roots are supposed to be white. These are severely rotted. It lost most of the older dried up leaves during the process. So I planted it a little deeper, in a fast draining mix for cacti and succulents. Hopefully there's still enough life in it to grow new roots. It had like, 3 healthy roots amidst all the rotted ones that I had to remove.

My plant arrived beautifully. It was shipped to Florida and packaged very well. Other than being a little thirsty she was in perfect condition!!

I have this 4 stars because of the packaging. The soil in the pot of plant was completely dried out. The small box was easily tossed around . The plant was secured pretty well except if it hadn’t been so utterly dried out the particles from the dirt wouldn’t have been covering the plant. It was very difficult to get the loose dirt off of the leaves. It’s healthy enough. The soil was bone dry but the leaves were not shriveled or too thirsty. Seems a little pale and some of the leaves came off easily. Overall it’s a healthy little guy and is a beautiful addition to my collection. Perhaps adding a Fragile or This End Up stamp would make a big difference concerning the treatment of the box during shipping. It’s is a healthy plant and was certainly in better condition when they sent it. Not the fault of the shipper just rough handling on route. To be clear. It was shipped via. USPS Ground Advantage

It came well packed and all, but it did not survive and I think it was my fault; I should have planted it in the soil sooner. 5 star for sending a good live plant. If I decide to incorporate this plant in the garden, I will go to this sender.

I've bought 6 of these all together. The first 2 were lovely and grew long strands and bloomed. The last 4 I bought were not so good. They were really puny when they arrived and 2 have died; the other 2 were scraggly and have not grown much at all, if any. I should have sent them back but they were for Christmas presents. When they are healthy they are lovely and it's a shame they can't all be that way. Maybe they came from another supplier, I don't know.

This is actually the third plant and the second of this particular type I have purchased (I unfortunately drown the first mistaking wilting for needing more water … so…) The planter I put it in is adorable, but not well drained. This is no fault of the grower, or the plant species, simply ignorance on mine. I was more concerned with potted looks than plant care at the time. These are awesome plants, very hardy and the one stem that survived my folly is valiantly struggling to grow. Every plant from this grower has came to me well packed, well rooted, healthy and willing to grow. The colors are true to the pictures, very pretty, and are a great value for the money. I strongly recommend this grower and their plants, just make sure you follow their recommendations and not what looks adorable; these succulents are moisture sensitive which the vendors make very clear. They are very hardy plants and will thrive and grow abundantly if you let them.
