Recieved this plant wonderfully packaged. With great color all leaves intact great roots. The plant was just smaller that I expected.
I love the color and how it looks, great product will getting more in future.
Small plant arrived happy and healthy. It has many leaves and all are intact. The colors are intense and rich, it adds the perfect splash of color to contrast and compliment all the other greenery in my terrarium.
This little plant is gorgeous! The coloring is so bright! It arrived in fantastic shape and was expertly packed. This is definitely a gem in my vivarium!! It’s a bit smaller then I expected, about 3-4” across but it’s so healthy and beautiful! I couldn’t be happier with my purchase and will be ordering again! Thanks!
Mine arrived not as dark as what's pictures. Looked very similar to Pink Starlite, which I hands down prefer. Time is passing and it's starting to darken up. Looks quite nice placed in front of my ferns to really make the red pop. Arrived healthy and happy.
