This plant arrived nicely packaged and in excellent condition. It is just beautiful and I love it! Thank you!
I ordered on a Thursday night and the plant arrived at my house on the following Tuesday. Needless to say the process was extremely quick. The plant arrived expertly packaged. Best part was the condition. It's beautiful, healthy, and larger than I expected. Now the hard part. Let's see if I can keep it alive! Thanks Steve's Leaves!
The plant (gynura) arrived within 3 days. It is healthy and thriving! Already shopping for my next house plant.

My plants arrived very nicely packaged. I appreciate the care taken. They were lush vibrant and excellent condition. Lastly I ordered same plant on Amazon 2x the costs. Half the size and half dead on arrival.
That said I highly recommend 👌
