You might be asking what is the difference between a string of turtles from here or somewhere else less expensive? Well I am going to go out on a limb a take a gander you want to put yours on display from a hanging basket or at least place it where it cascades and draws attention. This is about the 4th one I've bought and unlike others that come with 1 or 2 stems 1 or 2 inches long, this was about 4 times the size as others I have bought, I was so pleased I ordered a second one and they are both growing well, also its a strong plant and the slightest snag did not rip the entire thing up from the soil exposed its barely formed roots. I'd conclude it wasn't just getting what I paid for it was a deal compared to the obvious many other sources of this plant, but what kind of plant was I getting elsewhere, not even a plant, basically a seedling compared to this. 100% recommend
I am amazed that every time I order from Steve’s Leaves, the plants are absolutely astonishing! They are so healthy so lush and so happy! I am over the moon with this plant. Thank you so much!🌿
