Excellent plant - as usual from Steve's Leaves
I only order from Steve
This plant is right out of the dark ages!
It arrived a day early and in perfect condition. It's a must have for the collector. very unique indeed! Great job Steve's Leaves
I cant believe it looks like it does. Crazy spiked leaves! It has more leaves than expected. Very healthy!Packaged with care. Not a spiked bothered in transit. I did research and had a terrarium ready. I watered/spritzed her and put her in right away. If all goes well I'll plant it directly in enclosure. Not my 1st terrarium but im totally nervous.
This is a very unique plant . A must for us collectors. Great job Steve's Leaves
The baby leaf looks so cute and woolly and it turns into a medieval weapon. Another wonderful plant from Steves' Leaves. This one is 2 weeks in its home - a BiOrb which is also from Steves' Leaves. Lovely people and lovely products.
